The Stanton Report doesn't have any bear- <br />ing on our City. I recommend an 8% increase plus $30 additional toward in- <br />sura~Co. <br /> <br />Councilmember Sorteberg stated he agreed with the Stanton Report. Our em- <br />ployees are at least average and it is only fair to pay them at the same <br />rate as other cities our size. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that we have a close working group in this office and <br />we are proud of the amount of work a staff this size is turning out and I <br />would like to keep our staff at a low count. <br /> <br />Councilmember Reimann stated the staff were hired because they were willing <br />to work and overlap jobs. If there is a problem with any employee it should <br />be brought to our attention to be dealt with and not hire another person to <br /> <br />SpC/Octoher 20, 1981 <br /> Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
