as Chief of Police. The motion was made by Patterson, second by

Mayor Mason instructed the Public Works Department of the appoint-
ing of Lyle Paull as City Administrator, that the affairs of the
city might be better coordinated.
The following policy, regarding the Public Works Department, was
established:
1. The Council feels it necessary that someone should be in
charge outside when Lyle is busy in other places. Due to the fact
that Vernon has more seniority, the Council requests that Vernon
be designated for this position.
2. We have had complaints about coffee breaks that are too
long. We don't object to coffee breaks, but please make them
reasonably short.
Mayor Mason instructed the Police Department of the appointing of
Lyle Paull as City Administrator, that the affairs of the City might
be better coordinated.
The following policy regarding the Police Department, was est-
ablished:
1. Policing of the two-hour parking. The following is a
suggested schedule for patroling.
9:30 11:30 1:30 3:30 5:30
2. Patrol Fourth Street between Pine and Manzanita to
control U-turns in front of Post Office.
3. Patrol Pine Street to control speed at more regular
intervals.
4. Police must sign on and off radio when entering and
leaving Police cars.
5. No loitering in the Police Dept. If the Police Dept.
requests, we will have signs posted for that purpose. We feel
this detracts from the efficiency of the Dept.
6. No passengers in the Police cars -except City Employees,
Extra Police, or others on Police business.
7. Signs shall be placed on the Police cars. They shall
say "City of Central Point" with the letters not less than three
inches high, with the doors to be painted white with black lettering.
