Chief Smith advised that Firefighter Phil Conroy was injured on the job on December 10, 2005. He has been out on
workers' compensation since that time, and according to the medical information he has submitted, will continue to
be out for several additional weeks. According to the Personnel Policies and Procedures, the Department Head has
submitted leave sheets for the City to make up the difference in his salary between what workers compensation has
paid in order for him to receive a full salary each week. A gO-day extension would now have to be approved by the
City Council for the City to continue making up the difference.
Council member Chandler moved to grant a gO-day worker's comoensation leave benefit for Firefighter Phil
Conroy (beginning March 10 through June 10. 2006): seconded by Council member Williams.

Council Member Markham advised that representatives of the Hamrick Trust requested that the City not take any
action on the Temporary Street Closings for the Labor Day and Christmas Parade, until after the Green Market is
discussed which is scheduled to be on the May 2nd Agenda. Council Member Watford noted, as long as Staff knows
we are responsible for putting them back on the agenda. Council Member Markham responded, right, and they
(Hamrick Trustees) just want to wait until after the park items are discussed at the May 2, 2006 meeting.
Council Member Watford moved to approve Temporary Street Closing for the Speckled Perch Festival, March 11th
through 12th, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., for Southwest 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th and 6th Avenues between North and South Park
