The audit, he said, would determine deficiencies and a plan for any needed change would result. Both Joy and merit commission member James Ball defended their past actions in establishing police and fire recruit lists, but Miller accused them of hiring in the past "seven sons of firemen." Ball claimed each fie-men hired had been at "the top of the recruit list." Miller retorted, "A suit has been filed we're making no headway here no affirmative action plan has been implemented and you have ignored hiring black people." Again Carmichael referred to the July 21 hiring of "all white" recruits on the police department, and Joy countered with: "The police department was short on personnel then." Joy reiterated that the commission has attempted to recruit blacks on both departments. "I've worked like hell on this, spent my time with no compensation." Carmichael retorted, "No merit commission admits it is not making an effort." After the meeting was termed "futile," it was finally agreed upon that Carmichael, with aid from his HRC staff, would help both "departments undertake an affirmative action program. He said he would be wiling to work "10, 16, 24 hours a day," but "I must be privy to certain information to do this." The director said he could not stand outside the two departments and come up with any kind of acceptable program.

Thornburg said he feels precinct workers should have "input" into the appointment of Shepherd's replacement, as well as council members. The meeting is set for 10 a.m. Saturday. The appointment of a replacement is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 10, during a special session of the County Council called last Friday for that purpose.

Possible appointees being considered, according to some sources, include Muncie businessman Carl Gresh and former Muncie school board member Hurley Goodall. Both are Democrats from the third councilmatic district.

Although the amended ordinance lists 1976 salary levels, it does include new positions of police and fire radio dispatchers at an annual salary of $8,500 each. At the Saturday session Teamsters official John Neal had said the union could agree to no pay hikes if it had to, but would object to the city's creating any new positions. Assistant City Attorney David Wallace explained the city legally can amend an ordinance to include new positions, but cannot increase compensation for those already included. Although 1977 salaries for. city workers appears now to be a dead issue, unionized city workers plan to meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon with N'eal and Art Hicks, another Teamster official.

Some street department employes indicated Monday there may be another "sick-in" beginning Wednesday to show further opposition to no salary raises.
