City Council Creates Full Time Purchasing Agent Post
In adjourned session the city council voted to establish a full time purchasing agent at 3300 annually. The agent will be chosen from civil service candidates after competitive exams and placed at the earliest convenience by the civil service commission and city manager. The council ignored a bid to merge the post with current duties of Vassie Wilson, Lois Welborn or other officials, and will consider vacancies in the assessment and city attorney offices if new appointments occur. The abat toir superintendent and butcher salaries were also raised due to labor shortage, and a survey of the abattoir was ordered to assess condition or potential private sale.
