adjourned regular meeting jan. 15, 1963 page three 127'" The City Manager informed the Council that the insurance company had paid off the claim on the 1961 Dodge which was wrecked. The estimated cost of repairing the vehicle is $564.64, and it was recommended that the vehicle be repaired and given to the Police Department as a spare unit. It was agreed by mutual consent to follow the recommendation. I Alderman Swift moved that the Council authorize automobile expense in the am$unt of $150 per month for the City Manager, with additional expense of o~ per mile when he travels more than 50 miles from San Marcos. The City Manager will furnish his own car, and equip it with a radio at his own expense. Alderman Ruiz seconded the motion, and, on roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Moore, Huh, Stokes, Swift NAY: None Whereupon, the Mayor Pro-Tem declared the motion passed. Alderman Ruiz introduced a matter for consideration of the Council. He said there were only about three more meetings in his term of office; that he had voted for and against many measures, and he had regrets about only one action - "only one that has stuck in my mind that I'm sorry about". Mr. Ruiz then read a Resolution on loyalty of employees, found in Vol. 24, page 63, passed on July II, 1961. He said: "I can say anything I want to against the governmeNt, or against the state - why should I not be able to criticize the City? I want to finish my term with a clean conscience, a clean heart, and. I move that we rescind that Resolution". The Mayor Pro-Tem observed that the new Personnel Policy being prepared by the City Manager would probably cover adequately the subject of employee loyalty. Alderman Moore said the Resolution had served its purpose. It was brougheout that three members of the present Council were not in office ~en the Resolution was passed. Alderman Swift seconded the motion, which~arried unanimously. I The City Manager said if the Council wishes to go ahead with plans for codification, the cost could be included in next year's budget. Alderman Swift asked if the cost of codification could be budgeted over two fiscal years. The City Manager agreed it could. The City Manager informed the Council that the codification firm would require that the City furnish them with copies of all ordinances. He said Civil Defense would pay half the cost of micro-filming permanent records of the City. He promised a report on codification for the Feb. 12 meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:32 p.m., Jan. 10, 1963. ~' " ,,/\u\,~ ,,\f..- . J;I!. You1'igi!r~ Mayor Pro-Tern I \.~~\v,I->-- r~D' Alde:r;mati , ~.I/j!f).
