I~~ special meeting, august 31, 1964, page two release of the 1965 specifications. Alderman Ruiz asked if 1964 cars were still available, and Mr. Ful leI" said production of 1964 cars was shut down some time ago, which was the cause of delay in delivery of the last car purchased for the Police Department. The City Manager said the City should be able to get del ivery of a car 30 days after speci- fications were available for bids. Alderman Serur enquired about thehiring of two new patrolmen discussed at a previous meeting. Mr. Fuller said two applications were being screen- ed atjthe present time, and it was hoped that two more patrol- men would be hired before school starts. I Alderman Pool introduced the matter of a contract with Mr. Fuller as City Manager-Planner. He said it had long been under discussion, that a contract had been reviewed and agreed upon, and he felt it was time for action by the Council. Dr. Pool moved that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign and finish negotiating a contract with the City Manager. Alderman Serur seconded the motion. The Mayor said he would like to add that the fee ling of the Counc i I was that the sign i ng of a contract with the City Manager was uanything but a one-way streetu. Mr. Taylor said; UNo one can forecast whit is going to happen in San Marcos. I feel that it is as important to the City to tie Mr. fuller as it is to give Mr. Fuller the security of a contract. As a Council, we feel that with the many things coming up, it gives the City th~ security of having Mr. Fuller's services. Alderman Whittenberg regretted that he could not attend today'smeeting; he has telephoned since the meeting started to say that he hils studied the con- tract and is in com~lete a~cord ~ith the Council's action-.
