be assisted by the former emergency
preparedness director,Cliff Mottaz,who
retired on Aug.1.
On Aug.28,the Maplewood City Council
set Cude's salary for the part-time ,
position at$300 a month.
Greavu originally proposed paying
Cude$500 a month,which is the amount
he said Mottaz received.
However,his fellow council members
pointed out that the reserve unit is under
the police department now and no longer
with the emergency preparedness
department,Because of this,the council
members believed the$300 figure was
fair,and voted unanimously to grant him
that salary.

automobile.His salary and auto privilege
will be reviewed in the next city budget.
