<br />RESOLUTION: APPOINTING PROXY FOR JAUNT
<br />
<br /> Mr. O'Connell explained that the Jefferson Area United Transportation Board (JAUNT)
<br />is a stock corporation in which the City has voting rights. Mr. O'Connell recommended that
<br />Linda Peacock be appointed as proxy.
<br />
<br /> On motion by Rev. Edward, seconded by Mr. Vandever, the resolution appointing
<br />Linda Peacock as proxy for JAUNT was unanimously approved by Council.
<br />
<br />RESOLUTION: APPROVING PAY PLAN
<br />
<br /> Mr. Vandever said that Council may want to consider in the near future the issue of
<br />increasing salaries for those Police Department personnel who have longer tenure since the
<br />salary for new employees is being increased and the differential between the new and older
<br />employees is being reduced.
<br />
<br /> Mr. O'Connell said that staff recognizes the issue, but it will be a very expensive one to
<br />correct. Mr. O'Connell said that it is important for the City to be competitive in their starting
