ALLOCATE $90,625.00 IN GENERAL FUND TO FUND 125 CETA TRANSITIONAL POSITIONS FOR 15 DAYS. Mayor Ferre: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is a Special Commis- sion Meeting for the purposes of saving 175 jobs of 175 employees and limited to that. Mr. Manager. Mr. Grassie: Mr. Mayor and members of the City Commission, we have two actions before you to carry out your intentions from last night. The first, and we're going to distribute an agenda to you immediately, the first is an Emergency Ordinance which would appropriate $90,625.00 in the General Fund for the pur- poses of funding 125 CETA transitional positions. The difference between the 125 and the 175 that we talked about yesterday is that I find from the depart- ment that we have already been able to absorb 50 in the current budget so that there are 125 that remain that we have to take care of and that is the first Emergency Ordinance that you will have in front of you. That, of course, would require four votes to be adopted. Mayor Ferre: Is the Emergency Ordinance before us? Where is it? Mr. Grassie: I hope that it is being distributed.... Mayor Ferre: No, what we have before us is the agenda. Where is the ordinance? Mr. Grassie: The ordinance, I gather, is being copied right now, Mr. Mayor. Just so that you understand why this has come to me in the last 10 minutes, the department at 12:00 O'Clock last night had to go through every department to determine which positions were already covered and which were not, pull all of those out.... Mayor Ferre: How long will it be, Mr. Grassie? Mr. Grassie: We11, they're copying it right now and I would think.. Mayor Ferrer Would you say 5 minutes or 10 minutes or 15 minutes? rt (1) Mr. Grassie: Five minutes. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Grassie, could I ask you a couple of questions while we're waiting relating to the budget, Items that we talked about last night? Mayor Ferre: Rose, it is upon your request, we said that we were going to limit this to these .... Mrs. Gordon: I'm not bringing up;any new items, it is exactly what I, we're not covering anything new. I just want to know if Mr. Grassie got me the letter.... Mayor Ferre: We'11 take a five minute break now and you can discuss it. Thereupon the City Commission took a short recess.
