l
Chamber of Commerce president Lou Zimmerli addressed
Council with regard to the plans and events concerning
the Chamber of Commerce in the ensuing year. He explained
that Mr. Forrest Hanson, the present Secretary,Manager
of the Chamber, will retire this year. The Chamber
will be looking for a new Manager and has formulated a
general description of the type of man they seek. This
person would take a more active roll in seeking out, and
working with, businesses and industries for the purpose
of locating these in the City of Azusa. Other points
which were covered included the formation of new committees
which would involve more Chamber members in year 'round
activities. This will make the Chamber more responsive
to the City and its activities.
Councilman Decker entered the meeting at 6:41 p.m.
President Zimmerli explained that a survey taken showed
Chamber Manager salaries are presently between $10,000.
and $15,000. per year. The Azusa Chamber is presently.
paying just over $9,000. The new manager would have to
be paid in the above bracket and also receive an expense
allowance of approximately $4,000. for out of state trips.
In addition to these expenses the Chamber would need a partT
time person to substitute for the Manager during these
absences fr^m the state. Also, the Chamber wishes to
provide what it feels are necessary fringe benefits to'
all its employees including insurance.
It is estimated that the Chamber will need $10,466. above
its present budget to meet these requirements. While the
Chamber realizes that it will take additional meetings
between the Chamber and the Council to come to an agree-
ment, it also finds itself in the position of needing
to seek a replacement for Mr. Hanson, and thereby need-
ing some commitment from the City in order to justify
a salary.
During discussion between the Council and the Chamber
Committee representatives,various subjects were discussed,
including the question: "How much of this $10,000. would
the Chamber be able to underwrite itself?" The question
'was also raised as to whether the Chamber membership
would approve the Executive Committee proposal if it had
to raise part of the cost.
The Council advised the Chamber Committee that it: would
take this appeal under consideration and would be willing
to meet on further occasions with the committee, when
there is a more concrete proposal showing the amount of
Chamber participation.
