Ms. Miller said that there was no discussion among Council members at the meeting, only answers to questions from the news media. E. Jefferson Pool--Increased pool fees and proposed closure . City Manager said that monthly passes represent 13.8 percent of City revenues from fees city-wide. Mr. Drapela said that the mechanical plant at the Jefferson Pool was designed for about five years of service and that it is now five years old. He said that they may receive two more years of service from the air bubble, and the mechani- cal plant may make it through the winter. He said that the replacement cost 'is well over $100,000. II. CETA Pilot Project--Memo distributed. Randy Miller presented the CETA pilot project to the Council for approval. He said that they hire older people, provide them with intensive counseling, with the understanding that they will be in the CETA position at the Employment Agency for only 90 days. He said that the Employment Agency feels that they can place 80 percent of them in unsubsidized jobs. Gene Matson said that the program is to place hard-to-place people who will learn how to find a job for themselves. He said there is a turnover before 90 days. Mr. Hamel asked if the project will continue after the 90-day period and, if not, whose obligation will it be to fund it. Mr. Miller said that their obligation is to fund the project until September 30, at which time an ~ evaluation of the project will be made and, if successful, the Council and the advisory council will become involved. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the pilot project to employ older workers as submitted and instruct the City Manager to enter into a sub-contract with the Oregon State Employment Division for its implementation. Motion carried unanimously. III. Boards and Commissions A ointment Process Ordinance Ordinance draft distributed Mr. Henry said that there has been some difficulty in developing the ordinance; therefore, he suggested that Council review it and that it be discussed at the next meeting. If it is passed, he said there will be a number of resolutions presented before Council for amendment dealing with those commissions which developed through resolution. He said that action taken on the resolutions will be apart from the ordinance itself. IV.
