which would eliminate the process of an employee appealing to the Personnel
Board, as the final decision is with the city manager.
C. Mayor Sawyer explained that at Council request he had gotten in
touch with the five people Council were considering for Council seat re-
placement - one of them felt he did not have the time to devote to the posi-
tion - one stated he had rather remain on the planning and zoning commission
and one did not show for his appointment. That left two candidates - Mr.
Adolph Aguilar and Mr. Hal Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin and Aguilar were present

candidates, Mr. Sawyer remarked that it seems we have the cream of the crop
for candidates.
