This is only part one. Part 2 is more entertaining. Bell practices redirection, manipulation, argument to stop council decision to remove an ineffective position.
Council decides how many positions and what the job descriptions are for Lind. Council can change a position from part time to full time and vice versa. Council may eliminate positions. Council may choose to have two part timers instead of a full time position. Mayor hires and fires . that is the separation of legislative and administrative function. Town council votes on things = legislative. Mayor is supposed to follow and apply the rules or actions council votes on - administration.
Bell has no business trying to argue with council. Council votes unanimously to remove the code enforcement position at 1:03:00 pn timeline.
If they should pass these laws Bell is presenting, I believe that makes the old laws obsolete and actions started with the old laws have to start all over again with the new laws. Paula Bell seems to think the opposite. Any legal professional's comments would be appreciated here. The mayor and clerk have done the "code enforcement" letter writing and applied fines from the point when Gene Pouley retired as Marshal until Paula Bell became mayor. In the past code enforcement was INCLUDED in the office jobs at no charge to the town. It appears Paula Bell does not want to be responsible to do the paperwork and YOU to pay for someone else to do it. If that is the case she should step down as she was asked by residents almost a year ago. Residents are asking to sign another demand for resignation.
