Upon discussion discussion of the Resolution, Mr. Jensen stated that, "before
we act tonight, we have had Public Hearings on this, and tonight,
and some of the information has been the same as received before,
and some areas have been new. I am not prepared, at this time,
to vote "Aye" for the Ordinance. And, as you probably know, it
has been my policy in the past not to abstain from any issue.
And, my understanding is that if I were to abstain tonight, it
would be an automatic defeat for the resolution, Therefore, I
01110 will be compelled to vote "No". Yet, I feel that I need more
time to look into the Ordinance, although it's been badgered
about, and it's been going on for several years. But, there is
obviously -- we've been going full circle, a full pendulem swing,
in the other direction. So, if you, Supervisor Diehl, or Mr.
Clausen, will not remove your motion to pass the Ordinance, I'll
have to vote "Nay"."
Supervisor Diehl stated that "on that basis, rather than have a
"No" vote, I will withdraw my motion to adopt this, and I will
ask Mr. Clausen to do the same".
Mr. Clausen withdrew his second.
Supervisor Diehl indicated he would re -introduce it again at the
September 27, 1976 Board meeting.
Mr. Diehl, stating that having appointed Frank Cuccia as Bookkeeper
to the Supervisor, a salary must be established.
MR. DIEHL moved that the salary for Frank Cuccia be $6,500.00
annually.
Seconded by Mr. Clausen.
