At this time, Mayor-elect Paul Wallin and Mayor Don Harris propose to have a change of elected administrators on the evening. of November 18. Normally there is no business transacted at this meeting. This then presents some delay, as the next regular scheduled meeting of the City Commission will be on the 25th. I will discuss your situation with the newly elected administration and will advise you when it will be placed on the agenda. Should you desire to discuss this matter in further detail, please call me. Yours very truly, /s/ Whitt Johnson City Manager CC Mayor Don Harris Mayor-elect Paul W. Wallin E.
