He stated the Civil Service Commission will select three candidates for the City Council to choose from, and reviewed the guidelines that are to be followed. There was considerable discussion among the Council regarding the procedure to be followed, and reword- ing of proposed Resolution No. 1556, and any direction that should be given to the Civil Service Commission.
