In recent years, city officials have been criticized for traveling to National League of Cities conventions with their wives. Mayor Harold B. Felt said a policy should be established regarding who can travel at city expense. This privilege should be limited to officials only and not their wives. If wives go along, officials should pay this expense ouc of their own pockets, the mayor stated. Councilman Byron Armstrong said thats what weve always done. The thing that bothers me is that it appears were starting a new policy and this is not true. Weve always done this, added Councilman Peter C. Knudson. Want People to Know said he really intended that Felt Mayor people know what the policy is, making the matter public so that citizens will better understand. The next league convention is scheduled at Miami, Fla., in early December. A travel agency has set the cost for one persons travel and accomodations at $475. For a wife to go along would cost an additional $295, the mayor said. The local delegation will leave Nov. 30 and return Dec. 5. It was not determined who will go. Mayor Felt said he would try to get away. Councilman Dale Baron said the press of personal business would not permit him to make the trip this year. Both Councilman Armstrong and A1 Cazier will leave office this year and dont plan to be part of the citys delegation. Calvin Potter Ronald Shapiro |
