City Manager Gonzalez stated there were two matters that needed to be discussed: when to close the landfill and the employ- ment status of the sanitation workers. Director of Public Works George Boeker said there were 23 positions in the sanitation depart- ment. Of that total there are 3 vacancies, 3 employees have resigned, 1 employee is retiring and 5 are not recommended for hire due to abuse of sick leave. There remain 11 employees wanting work and there are 10 positions available in the Public Works Departments that can be filled with these employees due to a freeze placed on some of the vacancies since March, 1983. Mr. Boeker also discussed the brush pickup backlog in the City of 136 requests. He suggested the land- fill remain open for an additional two-month period so that these requests could be taken care of with a brush pickup crew. This would require a budget amendment to handle the backlog and direction was given one presented to the Council. Mr. Moore also suggested a sign be placed at the landfill so that people would be advised that it would be closing. Mr. Guerra moved the Council adjourn to Executive Session pursuant to Article 6252-17, §2 (g), V.A.C.S., to discuss personnel, at 9:42 p.m., and Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Ms. Kissler moved the Council convene at 10:37 p.m. and Mr. Guerra se- conded the motion, which passed unanimously.
