ment and possible policies for consideration. Three alternatives
were suggested:

C. No additional development permitted.
Councilmembers discussed at length the alternatives and questioned
the six members of the Planning Commission present at the meeting.
Staff was directed to proceed with a plan which would restrict
development within the Parking District to retail commercial and
would investigate further the effect of a revision of permitted
commercial and residential combi-ned use in the R-3 area as outlined
by the Planner.

Hughes-Heiss & Associates, Inc., updating its previous report with
the results of a survey of the personnel staffing in cities in the
Bay Area of comparable size. Mr. John Heiss confirmed the prior
recommendation that a professional personnel employee would best
perform an efficient personnel function. Based on the survey the

the original approximate $35,000 salary range from $22,000 to
$2 8, 000 .
Mr. John C. Franklin, Chairman of the Civil Service Commission,
discussed the Commission's recommendation that a professional
personnel employee be hired to follow through on the recruitment,
testing and interviewing of applicants and coordinate all
aspects of efficient personnel functions to bring to the City the
best selection of applicants and efficient employer/employee re-
lations. He stated that the Commission would like to have a
definitive statement of Commission's revised assignments.
After Council discussion, the City Itlanager was directed to initiate
