Position Paper p Councilman Britts then paper t t o resented a position a p p p p Objecting to the objecting to the recent method of selecting the Method of Selecting mayor pro tem. Councilman Britts contended that the Mayor Pro Tem the selection of the mayor pro tem had been a political one and had not conformed to the past seniority method of selection. He asserted that the situation was contrived to assure that the minority party member on the City Council would not have the opportunity to serve as mayor pro tem. He stated that through this action something was lost relative to the quality of life in Brooklyn Center with the departing from a focus on the citizens to a focus on politics. Councilman Britts thanked Mrs. Lou Howard for her letter which appeared in the Brooklyn Center Post supporting his stand on the mayor pro tem issue. Response to the Mayor Cohen then responded to Councilman Britts' Position Paper position paper by stating that a procedural error had been made in the past but that he felt that it was his obligation to correct that error. He also stated that if he had followed the course of recommending on the basis of seniority he would have had certain questions to address to Councilman Britts in terms of the time commitment required for the position of mayor pro tem. The Mayor referred to records showing the attendance and tardiness records of the Councilmen for both the City Council meetings and assigned Commission meetings. He stated that Councilman Britts' tardiness and absences from City Council meetings and assigned Commission meetings would suggest questioning Councilman Britts' time availability to be able to handle the mayor pro tem position. -3- 1 -21 -74 Mayor Cohen also denied Councilman Britts' allega- tions of secret deliberations and conspiracies engaged in by other City Council members. He stated that there is no evidence of such activities and he asserted that the whole matter constituted an early start on the 1974 political season by Councilman Britts. Councilman Fignar then commented on the reasons behind his choice of Councilman Kuefler for mayor pro tem. He stated that he had reviewed the attendance records of the Councilmen and through his close association with and knowledge of Councilman Kuefler's abilities felt that he could commendably conduct a meeting if called upon in the absence of the mayor. He stated that there was insignificant seniority difference between Councilmen and, furthermore, seniority could not be the only consideration in the selection of a mayor pro tem. Councilman Jensen commented that past selections of the mayor pro tem were made in terms of the individual talents and not solely seniority. He also stated that seniority could not be the only consideration in his preference for the mayor pro tem. Councilman Britts reiterated his position on the selection of the mayor pro tem and commented on his tardiness and attendance record at City Council meetings. He stated that he had informed the City Manager or the Mayor of his tardiness or absence before the City Council meetings in question. He also asserted that many City Council meetings did not begin at the time indicated on the agenda.
