Police Chief in May, 1970, and further, what were the reasons for a California
candidate being selected Chief over local man, Jack Stredwick.
It was explained that expiration of eligibility list in June, 1970 was reason
Lt. Kenneth Hutton was not appointed Chief,and thus required a new examination
for Police Chief,be given. On the second examination, Lt. Hutton was not among
the top three candidates.
Mr. Winegar cited qualifications of both Mr. Tebaldi and Mr. Stredwick, stating
that while he preferred promotions "In -House", he selected Mr. Tebaldi due to
his vast knowledge and education in the field of criminology. He commended Chief
Stredwick's ability as an administrative leader during his tenure as Acting Chief.
Further, Mr. Tebaldi placed first in oral interview in the presence of two whites,
two blacks and two Chicanos, .,i
Councilman Denney stated that Chief Stredwick has asked him to make statement
to the effect that "he had no part in the petitions circulating and. knew nothing
about them until they had been started - in fact, they were proving most embarrasing."
Councilman Hendler reiterated that while hes and other collegues on the.Council
would have preferred a local man, they were not charged with the responsibility
of making that selection; therefore, he moved that the City Council collectively
reaffirm its support to the City Manager in his selection of Mr. Tebaldi.

In view of recent lawsuits arising from accident at Oregon Street and Highway

contact the State Highway Department for assistance. Councilman Greenlee stated
he had been aware of that particular.hazard for several years, but had been unable
to get a committment from the State Highway Department.
Councilman Hunt stated he doesn't necessarily favor abolishment of Board of

so the City Council can consider it.
Councilman Hendler expressed concern over growing number of meetings requiring
attendance by a member of the City Council. He felt this was their obligation;
however, this was a 7 -man council and participation should be divided 7 -ways.
