Organizational Structure Study - Gary Weiers, David Drown Associates <br /> Gary Weiers from David Drown Associates was present to discuss the <br /> administrator/clerk organizational structure study. Mr. Weiers stated that <br /> the City's current position of clerk/treasurer has evolved in the last several <br /> years to a quasi-administrator position. He explained the three options <br /> presented in the study. <br /> Option 1 is to maintain status quo with the positions in the clerk's <br /> department. Mr. Weiers noted that this option is the least costly and <br /> would save the City approximately $5,000-$10,000 annually because a <br /> new clerk would be hired at a lower hourly rate. The current city <br /> clerk/treasurer job description would change and the City Council would <br /> have added responsibilities. <br />
