I. DISCUSSION OF MID-YEAR REVIEW

(a) Justification for increase of Administrative Assistant to City
Manager from 3/4 time to full time.
• City Manager, Len Wood, stated that at the time the 79-80
budget was adopted, he indicated that he would try the
position at 3/4 time. This was done and found to be in-
effective. Therefore, soon after the fiscal year was be-
gun, the position reverted to full time.
• Councilman Dyda felt that the change from 3/4 time to full
time should have been brought to the Council for Council
decision and action.
• Dyda moved and Ryan seconded to change the position from
3/4 time to full time. This was approved by all.
(b) Reproduction Costs.
• Councilman Dyda stated that some effort should be made by
both staff and Council to adopt ways to reduce reproduction
costs.
• Ryan moved and Hein seconded that staff should report back
with suggestions on ways to reduce these costs. The motion
carried unanimously.
(c) Over-view of Highway and Transportation Fund Project.
• Council and staff discussed the over-view of the Traffic
and Lighting Account, the Palos Verdes Drive West recon-
struction project, and the Highridge Road Improvement pro-
ject.
It was moved by Dyda and seconded by Ryan that all contracts
should have a contingency built in of not to exceed 10% of
the contract or $25,000, whichever is the lower. This motion
carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M. on motion of Councilman Dyda,
seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried unanimously.
