elected officials even though both the Treasurer and City Clerk are
outstanding in their field, that no doubt they are worth this amount
of money or more, however, he is concerned that as elected officials
if they would be "diselected" in future years that we ,would wind up
with laws on the books which do not call for the devotion to duties
that these two have shown and we would wind. up, paying nearly $1000
for a City Clerk who would not feel it necessary to be there very
long each day; and, 3) that since the Coup.cil was, resO\mdingly ..
defeated in their request for salary increases"we do not speak
for our distric~s when we vote raises for these two elected officials.
Councilman Sales stated that he wanted these ,comments reflected in the
minutes as it related to this ordinance and the next ordinance for
proposed salary increase for the Ci~y Treasurer. .

recently,'the' Planning Commission was informed by members of

area adjacent to their homes - they seemed to accept and recognize
I
this problem - there was considerab~e input on this matter being
that this Council had not taKen'this into consideration, I would
like to point out as was stated at the Planning Commission meeting
that many of the residents are talking about, and I am not talking
about the Homeowners now, I am talking about the general talk
that is going on, are talking of boycotting the Rossmoor Shopping
Center, if the change of zone from commercial to manufacturing
goes through. I would also like to point out that the City of
Seal Beach and its residents will be promoting ill will and
unfriendly attitude towards its neighbors - this is what most
