Minutes, Special Called Meeting And Workshop Meeting La Porte City Council November 18, 1991, Page 2 Mr. Herrera instructed Human Resources/Purchasing Manager Louis Rigby to explain to Council the process by staff, how we got started, when we got started, why we got started and the different levels that we went through in looking at the City's rules and regulations, how it got to the audit committee and some of the findings, then to proceed with the review. Mr. Rigby proceeded with a step by step review with Council. Questions were asked and a lengthy study process began. Mayor Malone called for a 15 minute recess at 8:00 P.M. Mayor Malone reconvened the Workshop meeting at 8:15 P.M. Human Resources/Purchasing Manager Louis Rigby continued to moderate the review of the Personnel Policy Manual. The decision was made to set the next Regular Meeting of the La Porte City Council for December 9th, and to delete the November 25th meeting date as a number of the Council will be in Austin for the court hearing regarding the Houston Chemical Services, Inc./Southern Ionics, Inc. law suit, and it is doubtful there would be a quorum for a City Council Meeting on that evening. Bob Herrera stated his belief that with the help of the staff members we will be able to write the changes discussed tonight, which we believe are the consensus supplied by the Council. Mayor Malone declared the Workshop Meeting adjourned at 10:13 P.M. and the Special Called Meeting convened. Bob Herrera stated he had one (1) administrative item to bring before Council and asked Assistant City Manager John Joerns to present the item. John Joerns explained the need for a change order for the Fire Training facility for additional steel. The additional cost will be $7,461.00. Council discussed and gave verbal direction to move forward to order the steel and we will have the item on the next Council agenda.
