them with Council directives rather than conducting a public hearing at e the Council level. Mr. Delay wondered about funding possibilities if the Advisory.Council decided it did not take a certain factor into account, and approves the position. Ms. Smith said that there is enough money to provide for emergency contingencies. Assistant Manager said it is also a question of timing-- when the appeal comes up versus the availability of grant dollars. Mr. Delay also corrected a date in Proposal 4 from October 30 to October 31. Ms. Smith noted that appeals meetings will be held on October 22 and October 23. Mr. Delay said he is comfortable with Council not receiving public testimony, principally because the Council lacks the necessary knowledge about the entire procedure. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve the detailed process and time line to hear the CETA public service employment appeals. Mr. Lieuallen said that, in the last part of Proposal 4, it says that the City Council will not receive further public testimony on the appeals and will move to adopt the Program Agent Advisory Council recommendations or return the recommendations for further consideration. He would dub that the "Gary Long proposal," as he feels Mr. Long seems to have protected the Council successfully from controversy as it relates to the CETA program. He will support the motion, but he has felt discontent with the process for some time. He thinks Council needs to understand what is happening e with the CETA program. The Council is not as familiar as it should be and he hopes a process will be developed in the future that will bring Council more up to date. Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. Upon motion duly made, seconded, and passed, the meeting was adjourned to October 24, 1979. ~) Charl es T. Henry City Manager (Recorded by Diane Price) DP: so/CM23b12 e 578 10/17 /79--13
