CONSIDER DISCUSSION OF NEWPORT HARBOR WATER NEEDS: Mr . Cook
stated that he was promised by past Council and staff that
there would not be a problem for the City to supply him ...
water through a new delivery point off of a NTMWD
transmission line. Although the delivery point has been
approved by NTMWD board, it is still 3 to 4 months away from
completion. Mr . Cook said that he feels the City should

offer him some kind of a delivery point and suggested that
the City extend an 8-inch water line along FM 1378 north
from Lake Ranch Estates to his development site. Staff
feels this would be a good investment for the City and it

CONSIDER REVIEW OF CITY MANAGER SELECTION CRITERIA AND ROLE
OF SELECTION COMMITTEE: Suggested by council for selecting
a City Manager is to choose someone who has had experience
with a city of similar size, conditions and maybe some of
the same problems that we are facing . To develop a
compensation package based on area salaries/benefits .
Possible third party inquiry into applicants past
performances was suggested . It was also suggested that the
person selected was aware of hiring/firing procedures,
someone with the initiative to come to Council with major
concerns , ie, law suits , and be able to develop a staff of
knowledgable department heads. Someone who has direction ,
but can also say to Council "give me instruction" . General
leadership ability, planning ability, budget planning and
personnel relations are some of the criterion required .
Selection of applicants will be determined by a review of
applications submitted by the City Manager Selection
Committee. The applications will be selected based on the
qualifications set forth. They will be systematicly
eliminated until there are a workable number of say 20 , and
at that time the entire staff will become involved in the
selection process .
A motion was made to adjourn the workses.s-i-o-9 with all in
favor . �.
