Page 1 - Council Meeting May 15, 1989 Dawn Collings spoke to the Council about a letter she wrote and sent to them, April 2, 1989, recommending that the position of Clerk/ Treasurer be changed from elected to appointed. Dawn said it was t erely a housekeeping function and not intended in any way to erminate the present clerk's position. Dawn Collings stated that ad she realized that the Clerk intended to fill out the remainder f her term, prior to the passage of Ordinance 89-3, the issue would have been addressed at that time. Dawn said when she voted for the Ordinance, she thought the Clerk was going to leave at that time. Dawn said she since had asked Chuck Zimmerman if he would clarify the points in question so all could understand what is going on. Chuck Zimmerman said a memo had been sent out with another Ordinance, but that is not the Ordinance that the Council will be referring to tonight he stated.

The Ordinance reads that the current elected incumbent City Clerk/Treasurer of the City of East Wenatchee, shall serve as City Clerk/Treasurer for the remainder of her unexpired term. Chuck said it does not affect Ordinance No. 89-3. Chuck said it is not an amendment to Ord.

The Council agreed that there should be no salary change for the present Clerk or any job description, other than what is set out by State Statute for the position now held by the Clerk/treasurer until Dec. 31, 1989.
