Motion seconded by Alderman Russell .
Alderman Wilson asked when Mr. Erickson had started his inspection work?
Ernest Lillard stated that, it was sometime around the first of April . Alderman
Wilson noted that Mr. Erickson had not yet received any pay, and asked Mr.
Lillard to explain this.
Mr. Lillard stated that he had talked to the City Attorneyabout an open-
ended contract. The City Manager would not approve it this way on an hourly
rate. Because of this confusion, wc, have been working without a contract.
Originally it was set up that he would be paid on a day to day basis, and the
contract would be terminated at any time. The City Manager stated that he
wanted a not to exceed figure put in this contract, and it required Council
approval .
Alderman Wilson stated that Mr. Erickson has been working since March 23.
If we are going to run the City's business we cannot expect people to work for
us for that length of time without compensation. We expect them to perform and
work on a businesslike manner, and we should do the same.

that he is.
City Manager Stuart Bach stated that the City owes Mr. Erickson from $3,000 to
$4,000 now.
Alderman Hampton stated that it is very shocking for him to find out that we
did not obligate ourselves to do it the best way Possible. If something is done
wrong down the line, who will be responsible? It will be difficult to prove
anything without a contract. He is not pleased that we did not have the contract
from the start.
The City Manager stated that we can have a letter of approval from a contractor
on a day to day basis. He stated that he was afraid it would go beyond the $12,000
cost, and he told the City Attorney and Mr. Lillard to redraft the contract for a not
to exceed figure on inspection services. He feels it is good management of our
financial resources to have a not to exceed contract.
Alderman Shearman asked what the dollar amount is that can be spent without
council approval ? The City Manager stated that for day to day purposes there is no
limit. There is a limit on public works.
Assistant City Attorney Kyle Morrison stated that the rate of pay for Mr. Erickson
was $18-00 a day, Plus expenses.
