pointed out this is to be a full time job as an elected treasurer who will also do
the work of the city secretary, but what, at some future time, the elected treasurer
is not qualified for the position of city secretary or cannot work as a full-time
treasurer, they would still get $9,600. Therefore, he feels there still should be a
city secretary and lower the treasurer's salary. Ald. Ellis moved the salary of the
treasurer be changed from $9,600 to $2,400 and hire a city secretary for $7,200.
