CITIZEN COMMENTS P. COUNCIL COMMENTS 863-7333 Mr. Glickert announced the Hot Line number to call, to report nuisance houses and problems throughout the City. He noted that callers remain anonymous. He said there is now a flyer with this number being distributed throughout the City. Mr. Crow thanked the City Manager for the update he received on Wash U neighborhood issues and on Wilson Ave. He had a question if the City Manager Weekly Update has been eliminated, if it would be reinstituted or if it is gone away. Mr. Crow inquired about a voice mail that was left on September 16 that had been saved and would like to set up a convenient time to sit down with the City Manager to hear that voice mail. He stated that Council had received an email from City Attorney Mr. Mulligan on the City Manager’s ability to move people around. Mr. Crow had a specific question, “October 18 we received an email that said the City Manager had eliminated a department and I am trying to figure out if that question was not asked specifically of our City Attorney or whether it was just not answered; in that it looks to me that our Charter requires that if we get rid of Human Resource or Personnel Department, which this email says we did, then that requires an action of this Council; or maybe the email was just incorrect.” Mr. Crow stated he continues to be concerned about the number of responsibilities that are residing on Ms. Watson as Deputy City Manager/Finance Director, person responsible for Personnel and HR and Information Technology. He thought it was an awful lot for one person’s shoulders. Mr. Crow said there should be some documentation that shows Ms. Watson as the head of HR and would like to see it. He also asked since the elimination of the IT department and its two personnel positions and is being contracted out, he is trying to determine if the budget for IT will provide for those contracted services; will there be a new contract for that particular area; will there be a need for a budget transfer amendment because to him that department can’t simply have two people eliminated, have it outsourced and have it all fall under the City Manager’s contract authority. Mr. Crow stated in reference to Ms. Carr’s statement and handout, he shares the employees same concern, to have their names, addresses and social security numbers could be some place and does not believe they are secured in a G-mail account. Mr. Crow said it is also an abuse of this information and could not understand why the actions of the Council on October 4 are not being made public. He said we now know what the subject was and whether or not that fits with the Sunshine Law. Mr. Crow 6
