Fahey instr~ucted the City Cler~k to place this matter~ on the agenda of the next Council meeting. Additional Blesener~ pointed out that the City budgeted for• an additional public Public wor~ks employee for~ 1988 and that the letter• submitted by the Public Wor•ks ldor•ks Super•intendent is justifying the need to hir•e an additional Employee full-time employee.
