ADOPTIOM OF 1969-70 ANb~AL BUDGET: Councilman Epstein moved that the 1969-1970 Budget, as amended, be adopted. Motion seconded by CounciLman Grimm and unanimously carried. LIBRARY BOARD: Councilman Werner said that in connection with the budget dealing with the Library Board, he would like to propose a motion that the Council send a letter to the Library Board aud urge that they consider two points: 1) That a thorough study be made by the Library Board for the next six months concerning the bookmobile and whether or not it should be continued and a report submitted to the Council at the conclusion of the six months' period; 2) That the Library Board not grant any wage increase greater than that which has been adopted by the budget for the Directors set forth in the Personnel Changes which the Council has adopted which is 5 1/2% plus a half step increase as of July 1st. lie said he thinks it should be the Council's recommendation that the Library i~oard not grant any wage increase greater than that for the fiscal year 1969~.70o Motion seconded by Councilman Lieberman. Discussion followed. Councilman Epstein said she will vote against this recommendation because she doesn't think the Council is in a position to judge this - apparently the salaries of the Library personnel are quite low compared to other libraries. The Mayor said he doesn't think there is sufficient evidence to establish that because the only evidence they presented was the comparison with the City of ~. Louis. Discussion con tinued. Mayor Kaufman suggested adding one other thing to the amendment and that is that in future pr~ entations they should give comparative ~lary rates. Councilman ~rner said he amends his motion accordingly. Upon vote all members of the Council voted AYE with the exce~ion of Councilman Epstein who voted NAY. The motion therefore carried.
