The Personnel Committee discussed the study, and there were conccr~]:~ raised regarding the cost of the study. Mayor (;amec explained the reason he questioned this study is because the City has conducted some studies on personnel and the City's needs out to 2015. They looked at Town Center and thc ¢os~ ol' maintenance and the equipment that will be needed. He questions whether this particular study is really needed at this time, or whether the City Council should sit down and h~ok at the needs. City Council / October 25, 2005 Page 19 of 22
