Mr. Bohjanen stated that there are some times when you are dealing in business it is fair to have someone from the board or in charge to look in on it once in a while. It doesn't mean that any other councilmen can't look in too, or the Mayor. He thought it was proper to have somebody more or less in charge of the office. Mr. Jaworski didn't see the need when the office has been run efficient- ly in the past. Mr. Bohjanen inquired of Mr. Locher whether he could or could not designate one of the Council members to be in charge of the office. Mr. Locher asked if this was in an advisory capacity to the Council only and was told yes, to which he replied that this was proper, providing there is no inference that there is an ability to discharge or hire employees or make purchases with- out consent of the Council. Mr. Locher noted that if any problem wrises within the offices it is nice to have someone to whom the public can be refered to as a liaison official. Mr. Bohjanen noted that if he had a job where he could be free all the time he would take charge of the offices himself, but as he could not, he was glad to have someone on the Council who could.
