ORDINANCE NO. 1149
AN ORDINANCE MODIFYING THE PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE
PAYMENT OF THE COST-OF-LIVING BONUS SO AS TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN
CLASSES OF EMPLOYEESi ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND
DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS, the Texas Legislature has passed an Act establishing
minimum payments for city employees under Civil Service, and in connection
with adoption of the budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1951, the
City Commission finds that the payment of the cost-of-living bonus to tern-
'(,/' porary and other transient employees and the bookkeeping, auditing and
accounting in connect ion therewith is unnecessarily expensive and burdensome,
and the Commission further f inds that by the elimination of the bonus payments
to certain employees and the e stablishment of direct pay rates will be more
economical to the City with r eference to the employees named, and that such
adjustment should be promptly made to facilitate general appropriation ordin-
ances and the adoption of the budget, t ogether with payrolls and accounting
procedures necessary to be placed in effect prior to October 1, 1951, creates
an emergency; and,this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage according to its terms, THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
