• Minutes - Regular Meeting, March 4, 1981, Page 12 • officers, there have been others that left because of some input from some of the Councilpersons or in a round about way from some of the business per- sons around town to Councilpersons. Simons: Didn't I tell you that my door is open anytime? Jacobs: But your door being open anytime is just like a while ago, three Councilmen voted and you got voted down. Simons: Reason. They didn't get all the facts. If we don't get all the facts, we can't come across. Jacobs: We would love to sit down with the Council and dis- cuss the Civil Service. We would really appreciate the opportunity to sit down with you. Cline: All right. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to withdraw my second to your motion, Council- man Tomerlin, and I'm going to ask the Mayor to set a meeting with the Association and we are going to sit down and talk about it. • Tomerlin: I would like to address the problems in general, not just Civil Service. That's what we should address ourselves to, that's the way T feel. I would like to see the problems addressed. I don't want to get on a confrontation basis, where it's me against you, or vice versa. Regardless of what happens on April 4th, I won't think any more or any less of any one of you, and April 5th I become unprotected if you ever thought I was. I would like to see us discuss the problems themselves more so than Civil Service. Mayor: Mrs. Cline withdrew her second. Tomerlin: In that case, I withdraw my motion. Cline: Then when can we set our meeting? Tomerlin: How about tomorrow afternoon? Make it 5:00 o'clock. I'll be here. Malone: Does this mean the committee is no longer a committee? Cline: I think we should all meet, then if we still feel there needs to be some work done then the committee • can become active. Mayor: This is the entire Police Department, if they want to come.
