Dorothy Garner, 610 S. lOth, addressed Ciry Council in regards to the Budget, and if
it meant some employees would receive raises. She indicated she did not see where
they deserved it, and indicated they do too much driving around, waste money, and
get nothing accomplished.
Ms. Garner referred to a dog complaint she had made, and indicated the employees
could not take care of the problem because they were working on a sewer line. Ms.
Garner indicated this aggravated her, and she decided to drive around to see if she
could find the sewer problem. She did not find any employees working on sewer
lines; however did see two employees driving around. They did finally come pick up
the dog, and at that point she again complained about employees driving too much.
Mayor Kincaid indicated he did realize employees do drive around, as to how much
drivingI what they are doing, and what they are looking for they would not know
