till Sept. 17. She had told him Council would be
meeting this date for a possible decision and he
could come prior to that date for an interview. He
said if he planned to come up, he would contact her,
he would not call if he did not plan to come up.
She had not heard from him.

Mayor O'Reilly said Mr. Rogers had talked about a
Package salary close to $60,000, but he would be
interested in part being in courses to bring up his
speed. Councilwoman Glick said we have provisions
in the Attorney's budget for travel that Mr. Rogers
could use. If he is not interested in something
Atty. Delahay had funded to attend, he could use these
funds for his own use. Atty. Delahay said he thought
Mr. Rogers had someting more comprehensive in mind.
He didn't know where he could find those. It is mostly
Just getting in these and digging for it and going to
Municipal League. Councilman Measles said he thought that
was what Mr. Rogers was interested in. Mayor O'Reilly
suggested having a meeting with Mr. Rogers and bringing
a report back to Council at the Sept. 13 meeting.
Councilman Wagoner said he did not agree with hiring
an employee and then negotiating. We should have a
set salary schedule. Councilwoman Glick said one of
the specifications was that he have municipal exper-
ience. Starting at less than $55,000 gives him a
chance to acquaint himself with municipal government.
There should be a probationary period. Councilman
Hall asked, is it important for an attorney to have
a background in municipal law? Atty. Delahay replied
yes, he has to learn Title 29 and the Charter of the
City. Councilwoman Glick noted we did the same with
Atty. Delahay and City Manager Brighton.
Council agreed to offer $52,500 to Mr. Rogers.
