place to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councilwoman

month of October with an anticipated election date of Jan. 24, 2006.

development manager to oversee upcoming construction and renovation

projects. Currently, such oversight and coordination is done through

outside consultants.

Department and establish a monthly salary between $7,881 and $9,576

by accepting $216,000 from state and federal authorities as the

city’s share in drug asset forfeitures from cases handled by the

Burbank Police Department. The money would be used for the police

helicopter program, technological improvements, safety and

communication equipment for police officers and the Drug Abuse

Resistance Education Program.
