MAYOR'S ASSISTANT'S POSITION RESTORED TO FULL TIME STATUS

In this audio clip of the January 6, 2006 Re-organization meeting, Mayor Metzner's assistant's position is restored to full time status.

While Committeewoman Lawrence questions the expense, the Mayor explains that the position has been a full time position for 14 years. Only in the last six months of 2005 have the hours been reduced.

Some residents have expressed their concern that the reduction of hours of the Mayor's assistant and the elimination of the Mayor's medical insurance were actions of political bickering.(The Mayor's medical insurance was not restored with this measure.)

The residents in attendance, at this January 6, 2006 meeting, once again show their support for their Mayor.
