PETITIONS AND COMMENTS BY CITIZENS'
Mr. Freeman Leaming presented the Town Council with a resolution to
dedicate the Municipal building in honor of Mr. Wilbur Honea. The Marana

not belong to the Town. The dedication will be tabled until at such time
that the Town has more appropriate Town facilities to offer.
Ms. Beverly Sommer submitted the copies of the Personnel Policy and
Procedures. Mr. Clifford Honea wanted to know if the Town Council was
required to adopt a Personnel Policy for the Town. Mr. Eddie Honea
felt that there is a need for a Personnel Policy for the benefit of
the Town and the employees. Mr. Eddie Honea also felt there is a need
for a Personnel Policy in meeting some of the requirements of CETA funding
and other government agencies.
Ms. Sommer informed th~ Town Council that Mayor Don Frew had submitted a
letter regarding termination of her employment to Ms. Ruth Miller. The
letter was sent on September 6, 1978, informing Ms. Miller that after Sept.
30, 1978, Ms. Sommer's employment with the Town would no longer be necessary.
Mr. Clifford Honea infor~ied Mayor Frew that the Town Council had voted six
to one to retain Ms. Sommer, and asked the Mayor on what grounds had he
submitted a letter stating that her employment with the Town was not needed.
Mayor Frew informed Mr. Clifford Honea,,'that he had asked for the position ~,
through Mr. Walker and through CETA, and he felUCCas he stated in the le~te~
that our funding capabilities were expired, we had no need for a person to
help us obtain funding. Mr. Frew felt th~ Ms. Sommer had completed her
job with the Town, and so he informed Ms. Miller. Mr. Eddie Honea challenged
Mayor Frew's letter, and stated that he had no right to over rule the Town
Council. Mr. Gary Nesbitt suggested that the tape and all the information
regarding the Emergency Meeting held on August l, 1978, be forwarded to the
Town Attorney for clarification on the legality of said meeting. The Town
Clerk would see to it that the necessary steps will be taken to obtain the
information form the Town Attorney.

adopted. Mr. Sam Chu felt that a better Personnel Policy is needed.
Mr. Gary Nesbitt felt that a Personnel Policy is needed, but not the one
that was submitted. Mrm. Price felt that she was not ready at this time.

committment, and that the Personnel Policy was to protect the employees and
had nothing to do with the Council, and if the Council was not interested
in the employees the matter would be forgotten. Mayor Frew felt that a
Personnel Policy is needed, but not the one submitted. Mr. Clifford Honea

Mayor Frew
City Council Members
In placing our mobile home at the location we did, we were

property line. But were under the impression that ten feet
would be sufficient.
The mobile home is not intended as a permanent residence,
the axels and toungeS are still intact for relocation at
a later date. At this time the added expense of moving
the mobile home would be very detrimental to getting our
new business started. Our intent at a later date is to
further develop this property into a multi-business area.
