T/oN J I 28' Mr. Eagen stated he had purchased the house on the Crawford property on the land that the City of Eugene has taken over for airport purposes and is now asking permission of the Common Council to move the house to a site across from the airpor property. Motion was made and seconded unanimously approving the request with the, understanding that the house be moved within the next two weeks. Also" Mr. Eagen is to make any and all necessary arrangements with Mr. George W. Boqua for crossing the' Boqua property, and all this to be done at his own risk. The City Recorder reported that inasmuch as the City owned property adjoinin 24th Avenue between Lincoln and Olive Streets, it would be necessary for the City of Eugene to sign the petition asking for the vacation of 24th Avenue between these two streets. Upon motion made and seconded the Mayor and ~ecorder were instructed to sign the petition and it was so ordered. '. 29 The City Recorder requested authority to make the necessary adjustments to the salary of the stenographer, employed in the City Engineer's offi~e. He stated that $30.00 per month of her salary was taken from the Milk and Meat Inspector's Department and now that his office would be moved from the City Hall to the Court House, it would take $30.00 per month from the stenographer's salary. He therefore requested the council to make some arrangement for tak~bg care of this deficit. City Engineer Clubb stated that the services of a stenographer were needed full tim in the Engineer's office. ,Question was then raised as to the advisability of movin the Milk and Meat Inspect0r's office to the Court House if the moving was to create an added expense. Councilman Brownson replied that the resolution which had been passed by the Common Council at its meeting of March 10, had been prepared by the Ci ty of Eugene Health Board and the resolut'ion provided that there would be no increase in the Milk and Meat Inspector's expenses at least for the present time. In other words, the budget for the operations of the Milk and Meat Inspector's Department wouldbe transferred to its new location, meaning that his budget would be paying for part time stenographic help in the new office. Councilmen Bond, Farring- ton, Koppe, Barette and the Mayor all questioned the use of the budgeted money for this type of service in the new office and further expressed the opinion that his office could probably be continued very well at its present location until the budget meeting could make provision for the changes for the coming year. It was suggested by those present that if the moving of his office did bring about a decrease in the requirements of stenographic help in the Engineer's office, her salary should be reduced to that amount and there would be no additional expenditure. It was suggested that she put in approximately one-third of her time in the new office if that was .necessary, but this received very little consideration. Councilman Brownson again reported that this was the action of the Health Board and if there was to be any re-consideration of this matter, the reconsideration should be made on the same basis as prior to the adoption of the resolution, namely, that the Milk Inspector be appointed on an indefinite basis. Councilman Brownson further expressed the statement that if the resolution was reversed the Health Board would very likely take action in the matter. The Mayor expressed the opinion that I I ~
