Since Council had already decided to direct the new City Manager to hire the new City Engineer, Mr. Couperus noted that the petition would be given to Mr. Carlson as a token of appreciation for his services to the Town. Fran Stevenson, 26989 Beaver Lane, stated that she felt the Town had been poorly served by the Council in this instance of the forced resignation of Mr. Carlson and she urged the present Council to reconsider the hiring of a dedicated public servant.
