" Four ayes, Cmn. Helton voting "no". The Council adjourned to the Chief of Police's office at 7:15 P.M. The Council reconvened in the Council Chambers at 8:35 P.M. 'I'he Mayor announced that for the benefit of the Press and members of the . audience the City Council, by an informal majority vote, have elected to notify the City Manager of his removal from office for any one or all of the reasons listed in the notice, effective November 1, 1958. A copy of the notice will be on file in the office of the City Clerk in the morning. It is the feeling of the Council that the action of the Council in serving this notice does not condemn or attempt to condemn the City Manager in his overall ability; there may have been some elements of personalities to work with some members of the Council as closely as possible; they want to impress on the people that they are not acting in any way vindictively and wish Mr. Nelson every success; he had briefly informed Mr. Nelson prior to this meeting that he had been requested to hold an executive session tonight to consider his removal; in fairness to Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson stated he did not prefer to resign, but pre- ferred the Council to take the course provided by ordinance as he would regard his removal as a badge of honor to be fired by this Council, So far as the Council is concerned they are desperately striving for a closer harmony of thought and effort; they have been criticized by a few who opposed them at the last election; however, he felt criticism is good so long as it does not bec.me.persona1 as it represents the democratic way of living. The Council feels that it might be more fair to Mr. Nelson to suspend Mr..Nelson from his duties imrnediately so he can go on with his personal affairs. Mr. Nelson asked for a copy of the reasons for his dismissal. The City Attorney reviewed a portion of Ordinance No. 1040 regarding suspension of duties with the Council and in his opinion the Council can by motion relieve the City Manager from his duties immediately. It was pointed out that the City Manager's salary would continue until November 1, 1958. The question of ,whether a City Manager Rro tem should be appointed during this interim was discussed. The City Attorney asked for leave from the Council Chambers to review the Government Code on this matter. , CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: The City Manager informed the Council he had been requested to put this item on the Agenda each time, but had only been called upon once to give his report. He wished to report on the following items: a.

At the meeting of September 16, 1958 he wanted to report to the Council about the Woman's-Club matter, as they had asked to have the contract returned. After Mrs. Dunne had sent a letter to the Mayor he had call€ Mrs. Dunne to arrange a meeting, but Mrs. Dunne wanted to wait until MI Vance returned before having any meeting. Cwn.

For this meeting he wished to inquire of the Council if they would be agreeable to a joint meeting with Oceanside to discuss the proposed sew plant and the annexation. Mr. Nelson stated he felt that a very profit meeting could be held. Several meetings have been held between Hayes a Cornell. It was his understanding that such a request was being made o the Oceanside Council this evening. Cmn.

He was out there today and Mr. Welch informed him that no water had been taken from the basin since August 1, 1958, _. The City Engineer informed the Council on August 1, 1958 the City took Qver the operation of the Mutual; it was the policy of the Mutual to use the maximum of Colorado River water because of the more favor- able chloride content in the import water.
