1. REGULAR AGENDA
1.1 Ordinance - Councilman Gary Boren: Ordinance 2006-00046 in regard
to Citizens of Lubbock/City Employees Protection Action;
Re -consideration of current City Personnel Policies, City Budget
- Payroll/Compensation, City Manager, City Attorney, City Secretary.
Council Member Boren read the proposed ordinance in the form of a motion
and asked Mayor McDougal that the policies be adopted on first reading and
to realize that there is time between the first and second reading to make
needed adjustments and fine-tune the ordinance.
Council Member Gilbreath said he would second the motion if Item 3 of the
proposed ordinance would be eliminated. Council Member Boren agreed.
Mayor McDougal suggested changing the verbiage under Item 1 of the
ordinance from City Council approval to City Council notification. The
Mayor stated that Item 5 of the ordinance (regarding Council approval for
retaining outside legal counsel or other consultants) is already in place and the
only change would be approval during Open Public Meeting instead of action
during Executive Session.
City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld expressed her concerns regarding a recent
contract she signed which is being contracted through an outside firm, per
Council's request. Mayor McDougal informed Ms. Dumbauld that this
ordinance is not an ordinance yet, she is operating currently under her own
authority, and we need to move forward with the contract.
After further discussions, consensus from Council was to rework some of the
items on the proposed ordinance. Council Member Gilbreath suggested
Mayor McDougal put together a group of three individuals to get together and
fine-tune the ordinance and work out the rough spots. The Mayor appointed
Council Members Boren, Gilbreath, and Jones to do this. After completion,
the Mayor requests that it comes back to Council with the agenda books, prior
to the meeting at which it will be discussed.
Motion was made by Council Member Boren, seconded by Council Member
Gilbreath to pass on first reading Ordinance No. 2006-00046 as
recommended by staff. Motion carried: 7 Ayes, 0 Nays.
