Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration the adoption of an Ordin- ance on emergency, the caption which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING SECTION 2-3l OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF SAID CITY TO PRESCRIBE THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS IN EACH CLASSIFICATION OF POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Mrs. Norris moved for the adoption of the Ordinance on emergency and Mr. Moore seconded the motion. Walter Schuelke, president of the San Marcos Fire Fighters Association, addressed the Council, indicating the Association opposed the pay classification plan and thought it to be illegal under 1269m. He stated the plan was not equal pay for all under the same employment, as required by 1269m. City Manager Gonzalez stated the plan, as first presented at the time of the adoption of the budget, does meet 1269m requirements. Dan O'Leary, vice president of the San Marcos Fire Fighters Association, stated the plan was illegal and the firefighters would never equal each other in pay. The Council asked City Attorney Barbara Edwards if the plan were legal. She stated the glaring errors have been corrected, but that she was not satisfied that the police schedule meets 1269m. She was not certain about the fire department's schedule but did have concerns in the step schedule for the police department in that the plan did not specifically set out the period of time in the salary steps. After Council discussion the Council voted unanimously in favor of the adoption of the Ordinance.
