She questioned the usual past procedure regarding salary, <br />qualifications, etc. when anyone is under consideration for employ*ment in PZayfield <br />Village. If the usual was not followed--why? She asked if the councilperson <br />who initiated publicity regarding her possible employment was acting in.p.roper <br />ethical procedure, if he volunteered the information to the press or if the topic <br />was initiated by a reporter; and if he had reviewed the ordinance stating the <br />snecifics before he made.remarks? She sai_d she will never regret hav;_n'0' <br />volunteered to work with the seniors. A.s her appointment was for two yea.rs, <br />she said she will resign on December 31, 1985. She said she had advised ?r:r. <br />Etzler, Commission on Aging member and Council liaison, a.short time ago that <br />she did not plan to accept if she was.asked to.continue. After discussing the <br />matter he persuaded her to.change her mind and continue in 1986 providing Council <br />and the Mayor approved. She thanked Mr. Etzler for always helping the Commission <br />on Aging and herself. Unfortunately, she said she has been put ir. a position <br />where she can not and she will not.accept either the Human Services Director or <br />Coordinator for the Commission on Aging under any conditions. <br />Mrs. Shiela Hanus, 739 SOM Center Road, a member of the Commission on Aging, <br />said she must also take exception to the article in the paper. She feels it was <br />demeaning to a11. Mrs. Hanus said that other municipalities pay their coordinators; <br />why can't.we? Rita has been the coordinator for four years and you might say <br />she started the Commission on Aging. She has done a fabulous job and the seniors <br />are wondering what is going to happen to their Commission. She thanked Mr. <br />Etzler for his help on the Commission._..She..wishes this matter would be resolved, <br />if there is any way to.resolve it. <br />Mr. Etzler said he and.the Mayor realize how hard Mrs. Mikula has worked. It <br />is a shame what went on in the newspapers put her in a demeaning atmosphere <br />causing her to refuse to continue. He hopes that something can be resolved <br />in the future.
