<br />A letter signed by Curtis S. Burrow, chairman of a Citizen's Cmmittee for Effi-
<br />cient Fire Service with petition att~ed, were presented, requesting that six pro-
<br />posed amendments to the Charter of the City of Santa Aha be submitted to the
<br />electors based on the survey of other California cities and on motion of Council-
<br />man Hubbard, seconded by Gould and carried, the letter and petition were received
<br />and filed. Mr. Burrow as spokesman for the con~nittee answered the questions of
<br />the Mayor and Councilmen and stated that Messrs. Cornecl, Watts, Jerome, John
<br />and Attorney Nelson were members of the committee. Statements made by the Meyor
<br />and Counc~lm~n Hubbard, Hall and Gould were to the effect that: Firemen salaries
<br />are based on surveys from other cities, some firemen in higher brackets receive
<br />less salary than those in lower classifications, objections were voiced relative
<br />to the method of petitioning, the question was raised as to whether the effect of
<br />proposed amendments was to take the control away from the City Council~ there is
<br />no justification for singling out a special department without consideration for
<br />all other departments of the City$ no justification for the comparison with the
<br />cities listed in the petition, and if there are inequities in firemen's salaries
<br />they should be discussed with the Department Head and he in turn to present the
<br />matter to the Manager. It was moved by Counci~mau Gould and seconded by Hubbard,
<br />that the petition be denied and. not he placed on the ballot. The motion
<br />
<br />~m~nded by Councilman Hall, seconded by Hubbard and carried, that the Manager be
<br />~tructed to check into the matter of inequities of firemen's salaries. The
<br />motion carried.
<br />
<br />On motion of Councilman Hubbard, seconded by Gould and carried, the Purchasing
<br />
<br />Agent was authorized to advertise for bids to be opened September 2, 1958, to fur-
<br />mish and apply asphaltic pavement to Playground and Walkway Areas in Adams Park,
<br />Specifications No. 691.10.
