Mayor Dodd called the meeting to order at 4:37 P.M., and announced
that the meeting was a continued meeting from June 8, 1987.
Mayor Dodd announced that the City Council desires not to have an
Executive Session in discussion of the City Manager position.
There was discussion that Mr. Fred Green had been contacted about his
interest in the position and he declined. At this point the City
Council discussed their desire of pursuing the interviewing process
further with Mr. Richard Escalante of Carpentersville, Illinois.
Mayor Dodd is to get in touch with Mr. Oldani and let him know of the
Council's desire. The members of the City council expressed desire of
traveling to Carpentersville to check out credentials, such as talking
with Mayor and City Council, citizens and personnel under the manage-
ment of Mr. Escalante. The City Council also expressed a desire for
Mr. Escalante to come to Farmers Branch again and perhaps visit a
council meeting at his convenience.
After more discussion of continuing the interview process for the
position, a motion by Councilman Dunagan, a second by Councilman
Weidinger, all voting "aye", authorized the expenditure, (normal and
reasonable expenses incurred following the Council Travel Policy), of
the members of the City Council to travel to Carpentersville, Illi-
nois, to pursue the continuance of the interview process on Mr.
Escalante with Carpentersville City Council, citizens and personnel
under his management; and, that this expenditure be authorized for one
night's accommodation. And, further the City Council authorizes the
invitation and expenditure of Mr. and Mrs. Escalante returning to
Farmers Branch for further interviewing with the Council at a time
convenient, and hopefully during a time when a Council meeting is
scheduled.
