Councilman Tallon moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan and passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2007-92 adopted. Ordinance No. 2007-93. Councilman Gareau called for a point of order noting the vote to amend the ordinance had not been taken so it could not be read as amended. Councilman Orlowski, chairperson of the Public Safety Committee, agreed that the committee had voted to amend the ordinance. The ordinance was amended so that the time frame would run from August 25, 2007 terminating the position on Sept. 19, 2007. And counting the time the administration hired the part-time Fire Administrator as a contract employee would equate to approximately 60 days of employment with the new Assistant Fire Chief. Also agreed at this meeting, was the end of hiring the part-time Fire Administrator as a contract employee. It was amended to read, "The temporary, part- time Fire Administrator so appointed or re-appointed shall be qualified by training, certification, and experience to conduct plans reviews and fire inspections." Mr. Orlowski made a motion to amend as stated above. President Kennedy asked him to remake the motion. Councilman Orlowski said the amendment included a motion (during committee) by Mr. Tallon to rehire the part-time Fire Administrator as a city employee beginning August 25, 2007; terminating the position on September 19, 2007; and counting the time the administration hired the part-time Fire Administrator as a contract employee, the committee agreed to approximately 60 days of employment with the new Assistant Fire Chief. Also agreed at the committee meeting was the end of hiring the part-time Fire Administrator as a contract employee. In Section 1 on page 2, the Law Director made some changes and it starts out with, "...shall commence on August 25, 2007 and terminate on September 19, 2007. The temporary part-time Fire Administrator so appointed or re-appointed shall be qualified by training, certification, and experience to conduct plans reviews and fire inspections." Law Director Dubelko asked to add as a friendly amendment to the motion: all as set forth in the document titled as amended and no more so than what's in this. Mayor O'Grady commented he felt there were additional words being inserted by Mr. Orlowski that he doesn't think have been approved. Councilman Orlowski said these are words that were part of the motion that was agreed to at the committee meeting. That's why he read them as he did. Councilman Gareau seconded the motion. Councilman Gareau called the question. President Kennedy said he was going to read the motion as amended in the final copy by the Law Director and asked if Mr. Orlowski was comfortable with it. Councilman Orlowski said he was comfortable with it if it includes the terminology that he stated that was agreed to. President Kennedy said the final copy will be the motion. Councilman Gareau said the suggestion is that, if Council is comfortable with the language as it appears in the document not marked as amended, but marked as amended corrected copy. 21
