12/7/71 <br />keeping in high school. She also had done some part -time bookkeeping (traffic <br />fines,.balanoing bookings, etc.) for the Village of New Brighton, but not e <br />lot. Mast of her work for the 10 months she was there was of a routine, <br />clerical type. While et. 1L and the State she did many varied jobs. She <br />transcribed from a diotephone, typed orders, took shorthand and did general <br />secretarial duties. <br />There was discussion among the members <br />her responsibility for taking notes at <br />ever she is, she should be responsible <br />meeting notes. It was felt if it took <br />adjust her working bourn in ecoordence <br />as to the Clerk - Treasurer's duties and <br />Council meetings. It was felt, who - <br />for taking and transcribing Council <br />much extre.time at a meeting she might <br />with it. <br />Mr. Bohjenen suggested evaluating the job including taking minutes at meetings, <br />and finding out'just what it involved. <br />It was felt that the purchase of a tape recorder would help with the Council <br />minutes. Shorthand wouldn't then be necessary. A couple more bids are coming <br />in on a recorder. <br />The Clerk - Treasurer now does work for the police_ department too. It wasn't <br />felt that the men should be wasting their time on clerical work, instead they <br />could be out in the squad oar, but Police Chief is required by law to keep <br />up on records.

There was further discussion as <br />to the use of a tape recorder at these meetings, and then the need for only <br />sketchy notes being taken. There was the thought that then the meetings <br />might be able to move along slightly faster, although they didn't feel they <br />had to wait long as it is now. <br />June Emerton asked if the Council desired her to take word for word notes at <br />the meetings, Mr. L'Allier said no, if there was any suggestion, it was that <br />they might now be too detailed, but that was better really. June felt that <br />it was hard to please all members at all times. Everyone agreed. <br />June indicated she spends 1 1/2 to 2 days a week posting and balancing books. <br />If she doesn't spend that amount of , time she gets behind. <br />Mrs. Swanson pointed out that the two keys to this position are bookkeeper <br />end stenographer. Mr. Rosengren noted that he had been Clerk- Treasurer for <br />four years, but that the position now was way beyond that he had, end was <br />growing all the time. <br />Mr. L'Allier pointed out that Mr. Hill, who has done the auditing for the, <br />Village, has said on a number of ocoesions that June does a very good job. <br />Also, Mr. L'Allier said whenever he or anyone else asks for a balance, she oan <br />give it within a short time. <br />June Emerton has been the Clerk - Treasurer since January 1968, and Deputy - <br />Clerk since May 1967, before that.
