"Do we need,a City Administrator at all? The town is too small to carry the tax load of having the additional personnel."

Mr. Tucker advised that the City buys whenever and whatever it can do save money. Many local purchases are made. Mr. Calvin Bowers, N. 5th St., was recognized and asked Recorder Zander if the office of Recorderaand Administrator could be combined? Zander replied, It's rather difficult to answer the question intel- ligently as the City has no Job Description". Therefore who does what? However there are many cities in Oregon both larger and smaller than Central Point that have a combined Recorder-Administrator and apparently is working. Salaries were discussed both from the floor and the council. - Mayor Burton explained how'the Council and Budget Committee have arrived on salaries and that we have no form to follow.

Mr. Tucker stated that Medford has indicated that it will raise the water rates to Central Point, however,~we are going to absorb this through this budget and not through the water users.
