ABSTAIN: None. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of allocation of contingency funds for the use of an assessment center in the selection of a police chief. Mr. Brown moved that an assessment center be ap- proved to give help and expertise to the City Manager for the important position of police chief. The estimated amount, excluding any travel expenses of the applicants, would run $4,000-$7,000 or $8,000. Mrs. Norris stated we should check out services of SWT. Mr. Kreczmer stated the City Manager had the responsibility of making this decision without an assessment center. Mrs. Mendez stated she thought the City Manager was capable of making the decision without the assistance of an assess- ment center. Mr. Brown stated a wrong decision could possibly cost the city more, and with the assistance of an assessment center, it could narrow that possibility. City Manager Gonzalez said he could make the decision without the assistance of an assessment committee but felt the decision could be of much greater success with their assistance; it would help increase the percentages of a right choice being made. He said with the assistance of an assessment center, the applicants might be expanded to 6, and may leave the applicants narrowed down to the recommendations of the city's committee of 3 without their assistance. Mr. Brown then moved that we consider con- tacting SWT to provide an assessment committee and Mrs. Norris seconded the motion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Farr, Craddock, Moore, Norris. NAY: Kreczmer, Mendez. ABSTAIN: None.
