/ Reader, who is clearly
against the idea, pointed
out to the council that he
thought a job description
should be written before
•the matter was put to a

£ Instead, Caldwell im-

special election be called,
;and it was approved by all
city manager's salary after
the way he (Reader) had
been spending money,
"even if the salary was
$100,000," he added.
Davison added that
from what he'd heard, the
city could expect to go
through three before it
could get one to stay.
Reader agreed, adding
that after talks with Fla-
tonia and LaGrange,
which have city manager
forms of government, he
had discovered it was "ex-
pensive.
Davison, who voted for
the election, added, "it's
like football coaches. If he
loses, you fire him. If he
wins, you keep him. If he
wins too many, he moves
on."

Prior to the revisions in
subdivision regulations in
February, Commissioners
approved plats of subdivi-
sions with lots averaging
only slightly more than 1.5
acres that had gravel roads,
subdivisions with any lots
less than two acres now not
only require paving, but
also curbs and gutters.
Subdivisions with lots of
less than five acres require
paved streets 22 feet wide
with 60 feet right of way.
The only size require-
ment for lots is that 25,000
square feet be above the
100-year floodplain and
that absorption and perco-
lation tests show the area
adequate for a septic tank.
Commissioners say
purposes of the regulations
are to protect potential
buyers by ensuring thaf
certain minimum standard^
are met in subdivision con-
struction and to prevent
the county road and bridge
department from being
burdened with substandard
roads in the future.
