Council Minutes of 4/1/2003 ;,,~,,, in writing. Agrees with Mr. Dial that it does need to be on the table and thinks that the administration and Council have addressed the issue of putting it on the table. Mr. Dial noted that flex time is not an issue. He is concerned about what is being paid in cash as dramatized in this recent case. Mr. Gareau reiterated that nobody is being paid cash for comp time. No employee is able to not take the time and convert it to cash. He agrees that the amount of banked hours for all employees should be known. Bob Whiting, Commander of VFW Post 7647.
