consent calendar for further discussion; Saul D. Klein was not as
well-qualified as Josephson in that he had no experience with
governmental agencies nor did he have a train-the-trainer program;
and Council should be encouraged to make a decision tonight to fund
the project as proposed by the Board of Ethics and not refer the
matter back to the Board for further evaluation.

if a City employee were elected to the Council and wanted to return
