The following letter was received in the City Clerk's Office
October 30, 1973.
------------
OCTOBER 29, 1973
To All Members of The Hastings City Council:
While I am in thorough accord with the intent of the recently passed
"Ordinance Providing For & Creating the Office of Administrator For the
City of Hastings", I must - after long study and in good concience -
object to the passage of this Ordinance at this time in the only way I
can - by registering my veto of this Ordinance for the following reasons:
r---
1) It seems that the intent of the members of the Council that voted in
favor of this Ordinance is that the City Council should start to look for
a City Administrator as soon as possible.
2) Also, it seems that there is a general impression that a new city ad-
ministrator would save a good part of his salary by instituting new pro-
cedures and methods in the general business of running the city.
I do not believe that this impression is realistic because the City Clerk's
Office at present is conducting its business with a minimum of personnel.
Substantial savings to the City are doubtful - keeping in mind the propo-
sals that are already being stddied.
3) Mr. Erickson has spent the last fourteen years in his present capac-
ity. Before that he was a City Councilman and also spent several years as
Mayor of Hastings. Before the City of Hastings had its own city engineer,
Mr. Erickson was in complete charge of the administration of City affairs.
Unfortunately, when the city engineer's position was filled about seven
years ago, the City Council at that time gave him full authority for the
administration of city engineering and of all city operating departments.
Mr. Erickson then had only the administration of the City Clerk's Office -
which includes the administration of City Finances.
This situation where there were two administrators functioning to control
City business was, unfortunately, not a wise decision - as we have since
found out through experience.
4) The search for a new city engineer is now in process. I do not be-
lieve that it would be wiSe for the City Council to start a search for a
new city administrator at this time - or even within the next few months
since both officials must take some time to get acclimated before they
are effective.
Consequently, I am suggesting that we abide by our policy of trying to
fill new positions within our administrative organization with present
employees who are capable, by amending the Resolution adopted by the
Council on September 4, 1973 as follows:
.
1339
"Now, Therefore be it resolved that effective September 4, 1973 and there-
after until further action by the City Council, all departments within
the administrative organization of the City of Hastings (except the Police
Department) shall report their activities to the City Clerk-Administrator
who shall exercise control and supervision of these departments and co-
ordinate the activities of consultants and advisory bodies. He shall
exercise control and supervision of the Police Department in accordance
with the direction of the Mayor.
He shall also conduct his administrative duties in accordance with the
guidelines set forth in the proposed Ordinance relating to the Office of
City Administrator which was passed by the City Council on October 15, 1973
and subsequently vetoed by the Mayor. The performance of the City Clerk-
Administrator shall be thoroughly evaluated and judged by the City Council
at the first meeting in October, 1974, at which time the Council will make
the decision as to whether th resent City Clerk-Administrator shall be
continued or that the Council n ld hire another person as a City
Administrator".
