Mr. Hubert. Of course, for the record, you were then Mayor?
Mr. Cabell. That is correct.
Mr. Hubert. I think it might be well also for the record if we have the names of the people that composed the council at that time.
Mr. Cabell. The council at that time was composed of Mr. Carie Welch. He was also mayor pro tem. Mr. William Roberts, Mrs. Tracy Rutherford, Mr. Joe Moody, Mr. Joe Golman, Mrs. Elizabeth Blessing, Mr. George Underwood, Jr., Mr. R. B. Carpenter.
Mr. Hubert. I understand that Mr. Crull had been serving as city manager for quite some time?
Mr. Cabell. Something over 10 years.
Mr. Hubert. Could you describe briefly for us the relationship between the mayor and the council and the city manager?
Mr. Cabell. Well, it is the relationship of the general manager of a corporate entity and his board of directors, with most day-to-day contact being made through the mayor as the presiding officer of that board.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, the city manager really has the detailed administration of city affairs?
Mr. Cabell. He is entirely responsible for the administrative functions of the city government.
