<br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />September 25, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Mayor Manning proposed reinstating one-half of the costs originally proposed for car <br />allowances for the City Manager, Assistant City Attorney, Finance Director, and City <br />Engineer. Council Member Fendley said he did not think that would be enough and they <br />would still have to use pool cars. Council Member Freelen stated that when these employees <br />were hired, it was part of their package and was not fair to take it away from them. Council <br />Member Gray said that some of the department heads do not use their cars that much and <br />could drive a pool vehicle. Council Member Wilson reiterated Council Member Freelen. <br />Council Member Fendley said it was inappropriate not to provide the city manager with a car <br />allowance, as stated in the minutes upon his being hired. <br /> <br />Council Member Ray made a Motion to leave the Budget as previously amended, <br />omitting car allowances with the exception of the Fire Chief, Police Chief, and Emergency <br />Services Director. Council Member Gray seconded the Motion. Motion carried, 4 ayes - 3 <br />nays, with Council Member Fendley, Council Member Freelen and Council Member Wilson <br />casting the dissenting votes. <br /> <br />5.
