City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />June 23, 2004 <br />Mayor Sweeney commented that the $2,175.00 is comparable to surrounding <br />communities. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that this is the Staff recommendation. <br /> <br />VOTE: All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />VIII. OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br />1.Recommendation for Hiring Public Works Maintenance Employee (Tabled) <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that he has reviewed the Minutes as taken from the tape <br />and it appears that Council had agreed to go back to the list should the two authorized <br />hires not work out. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that he would recommend going back to the list and <br />finding out the next highest pointed person on the list and that would be the next eligible <br />person.
