Council Minutes of 9/28/2005 8) Charles Dial, 27959 Gardenia, obtained 11 years worth of purchase order information on every purchase made by the city from 1994 to 2004. He feels there were a number of misrepresentations at the WWTP. The amount of money into that department in the form of sewer taxes and the amount of value gotten out of it is highly questionable. 9) Jim Burns, 3978 Dover Center Road, said the city did have a Director of Budget & Management years ago. That position was the procurement officer. In 1990, the title was changed to Director of Personnel & Administrative Services. Purchasing was transferred from an administrative service under the Mayor to the Finance Department. He was opposed to the change at that time because it took away part of the check and balance that was built into government. Under the Charter, the Mayor is responsible for budget of the city, not the Finance Director. 10) Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, thinks Council meetings should be televised.
