The council also voted to direct the city manager to implement the neighborhood councils program, pro-gram, and authorized the use of $25,000 from council contingency funds. City Manager Jim Reams said two vacant staff member positions posi-tions are being restructured to accommodate the need for a full-time full-time neighborhood organization specialist, or facilitator, who will direct the program. The $25,000 requested as start-up money will be apportioned as $15,000 for materials, and $10,000 salary for a part-time position in the city manager's office under the staff restructuring. Salary for the facilitator fa-cilitator position will be approximately approxi-mately $36,000 annually. Following input from council members, the requirement of a bachelor's degree was eliminated from the facilitator's position requirements, re-quirements, public relations duties du-ties were trimmed from the job description, and the time frame for application was extended beyond be-yond the original closing date of August 10. "I fujly believe that a year from now, the job will be somewhat different than as described today," to-day," Reams said. ReNae Brereton, who served on the NeighborhoodAdvisoryAd Hoc Committee, said she supports sup-ports the new specialist position. The person selected for the job must be trusted by city staff, the city council, and the citizens, she said. "This is not an easy fence to straddle." Brereton said it is important that the facilitator not take on roles as a public relations person for the city, because if he or she has to defend the city, they will . t.- - interest r , Gram 9 I ; f fCJ flf f ve4w ' V" " fyS Limited Time Offer & Availability (H) JHCOKnim 115 L UMVERSny ttSBfflf 7144100 lose the trust of the citizens. "Their plate is going to be full enough," she said. Several citizens spoke up to question the necessity of having a full-time staff position for the program. Trudy Thompson said the city council used to go out to the neighborhoods, and asked why reports could not be made to the city directly. Bob Wright said volunteers ought to be able to handle the program. Questions were raised, too, about how the neighborhood council chairmen will be selected. Reams said he mentioned the issue is-sue when the ad hoc committee gave its report, and the answer given was that names for the appointed positions would first be acquired through networking. He said he preferred a more formal for-mal approach. Mayor Joe Nelson said the fact that the positions will be filled through elections after the startup start-up terms would be a safeguard. New Clerk Treasurer named for Alpine School District Mr. Keith Bradford, presently the Director of Accounting with Clark County School District in Las Vegas, has been named as the new Clerk Treasurer for the Alpine School District. He succeeds suc-ceeds Mr. Jack McKelvy who accepted ac-cepted employment elsewhere. The unanimous decision by the Board of Education took place during the Board's August business busi-ness meeting held this week in American Fork and follows weeks of interviews and screening screen-ing for the position. Sixty applicants appli-cants applied for the vacancy. Bradford graduated from the University of Utah and received a J.D. degree from Brigham Young University. He is also a CPA. He has an extensive background back-ground of legal and business experience. ex-perience. He has worked as an Auditor and Accountant in the Texas area. He was an Attorney for the Marathon Oil Company IfcedCars NISSAN Councilman Bill Peperone said if there are three or four individuals indi-viduals all interested in the same position, they could be asked to choose a chairman from among themselves. Orem resident Lisa Deason suggested lengthening the time between posting an agenda and having a meeting date to avoid a "recipe for frustration" for citizens citi-zens involved in the process. City Attorney Paul Johnson warned that the council cannot overestimate the difficulty that the facilitator will have in finding find-ing people to fill the slots. "This is no small thing," he said. "It will take lots of time." Councilwoman Judy Bell said she does not anticipate that all 15 neighborhood councils in the city will be up and running in six months, and she later noted that the impetus for neighborhood representation should come from the neighborhoods themselves. in Ohio; and AuditorAttorney for the Oil Gas and Mining Division, State of Utah; an AttorneyFinancial AttorneyFi-nancial Accountant with the Utah Attorney Generals Office; and taught Business Law at Salt Lake Community College. He has been with Clark County School District since 1994. Bradford's philosophy of administration ad-ministration emphasizes a team approach to management: "I surround sur-round myself with well qualified, hard working people and then I expect them to do their jobs with excellence. I stress teamwork as my staff and myself work to establish es-tablish and achieve department goals and objectives." "Mr. Bradford emerged from the screening process as a highly experienced and trained professional," profes-sional," said Dr. Steven Baugh, Superintendent of the Alpine School District. "We are fortunate fortu-nate to employ a person of his obvious caliber." iwawbi iilwll L-aaawwa! " aM OEw 195 E.13C0 S.
