Regular City Council Meeting <br />August 11,2003 <br />Page 26 <br /> <br />look at any of those. Mr. Anderson said for the TMRS, the City Council sets <br />what the employee contribution rate is and what the city' s contribution is and <br />based on that, it is actuarially determined what the contribution amount has to <br />be. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley said they may not have time to look at all of these. He said <br />they have received a copy of the employee manual and he felt the Council <br />needed to have some input with the staff as to what is in the employee manual <br />as for a vacation time and sick time. Mayor Fendley appointed a committee <br />consisting of Councilman Guest as chairman, Councilman Bell, and Mayor Pro <br />Tem McCarthy to work with the city staff. He did not feel they could address <br />all these issues and make any changes, if there were any changes before the <br />budget is adopted, but it is something that they need to have ongoing. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley said for the Thursday night meeting they will take the first six <br />departments in the budget. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley called for input from interested citizens of Paris proposing <br />services or projects to be included in the 2003-2004 City of Paris Budget. <br /> <br />Mack Ross, 3475 Reno Drive, came forward stating that he wanted to talk <br />about lost revenue. He said if they read the editorial in lhe Paris News, he <br />was talking about members of this Council getting involved in other projects <br />and getting what instructions prior Councils might have given the city staff. <br />Mr. Ross advised that four years ago, he addressed the Honorable Mayor <br />Neeley and the Council about this issue after two years of annexation out to <br />4 miles. He said that at the last meeting they had brought out the fact that Mr. <br />Malone and Tommy Haynes had failed to annex Mr. Haynes's property and <br />failed to annex the asphalt batching plant and one of the principals of that <br />business was a partner of the Mayor at that time. He said that Mayor Neeley <br />asked the staff why they left out these two pieces of property and they had a <br />pretty weak excuse. He said that Mayor Neeley instructed the Council to <br />annex it the next year. Mr. Ross stated that nothing was done regarding this <br /> <br /> <br />
