PIC COMMISSION
At their meeting of July 13, the Traffic Commission forwarded a pro-
posed ordinance to the council for consideration. At this time
Lnance Ordinance No. 1497, an ordinance relating to the powers and duties
Mayor Cummings stated that he felt that the Council is elected k
ple of the community to make decisions relating to the budget of
city. Some 65% or 70% of the budget is salary, and he felt he u
be abrogating his responsibility as an elected representative of
community if he were to favor placing this matter on the ballot.
Councilman Knudsen stated that he feels it is Council ' s job to t
run the city as they believe they hear from the people; if peopl
to vote on the matter, he feels they should have the right to dc
it is within the realm of economics .
Councilman Sewall agreed that it is Council ' s responsibility to
into consideration all budget problems of the city, including sa
and doesn' t feel it would be proper to relinquish that responsit
because it is a complex subject and hard for the average person
judge or become aware of. He feels more effort should be made t
tablish communication, and that the matter can be resolved withc
expense of an election.
Councilman Miller stated he did not favor an election because pE
might be inclined to vote for and pass the measure without due c
sideration of what it would cost them, then be unhappy with what
had passed; also, that salaries in Redlands should not be tied a
matically to salaries in any other city. He feels that completi
the alignment survey may furnish an answer equitable to everyone
Councilman DeMirjyn reminded Council that at the beginning of ne
tions he had wanted to have the different organizations come in
talk to Council. He feels the problems would have been solved a
easier.
After further extensive discussion, on motion of Councilman Sewa
seconded by Councilman Miller, Council voted not to put this mat
the ballot in November or any other time for the reasons that it
be abdicating their responsibilities as informed representatives
the people, it would be costly to the men themselves and to the
and that steps are being taken in an endeavor to bring salaries
to as equitable a position as possible. Motion passed by the fo
vote:
AYES : Councilmen Miller, Sewall, Mayor Cummings
NOES : Councilmen DeMirjyn, Knudsen
ABSENT: None
