We here express our concern withothe Board's failure to fulfill the obligations of an administrative public body. We bring our concerns to the City Council because this Library Boards albeit with some statutory autonomy, is appointed solely by the City Council and is funded largely by appropria- tions from the City of Iowa City. We protest the pejarative manner in which the July 25th meeting was held and conducted. The threatening tone of the pro- ceeding was abusive to -the library staff and offensive to the concerned citizens in attendance. The attached statement, read in anger, was adopted by the eight Board trustees present. These developments, if not checked, will cause insurmountable problems between Board, director and staff.

The Library Board's unwilling- ness to confer with the professional staff and city resident s is unfortunate. As a'public body they should welcome such input.; T.ocall staff members "dissidents" and to threaten them with loss of employment is an over- reaction to"a serious effort on the part of the staff to air their opinions.on irregularities in the hiring policy. In light of'the present situation we would suggest that the City Council (1) act as a conciliatory body to ease the tensiono between the -Library Board and the staff, (2) recommend to the Board that the library pro- fessional staff -be involved in candidate selection, and (3) clarify for the -Board -the EEOC guidelines for hiring as they apply to the selection of a new -director Johnson County Womenls Political Caucus o Members Present:- Downer, Trumpp, Buchan, Farber, Newsome, rirk- man'Canter, Richerson, Bywater Nembers Absent: None Others Present: None Business: The meeting was called to order at 4:10 by the presi- dent, Bob Downer.

In the first five months of the year, adult circulation is down 2,000 and Children's up 10,000for a net gain of 8,000.

In order to receive suggestions from you concerning some of your needs and desires, we would like to invite you to attend an informal discussion.session with the Housing Commission on August 6.at the Senior Citizens Center at 538 South Gilbert Street. We plan to'begin.the discussion at 1:00 p.m. and thought it would be -.appropriate for us to attend the congregate meal together beginning at 12 Noon. I will be glad to make meal reservations for you if you will call me at 338-4064 by Noon Monday, August 5. If you cannot attend the lunch please come to the discussion session at l o'clock. Your ideas and.suggestions are very much needed so that current planning will include the input of people such as those who will occupy the housing. We are looking forward to seeing you.

Both-the`University.of Iowa>Hospital.and the -Veterans Administration:Hospital-confront .the'' problem of dealing with patient and visitor parking, and an increased demand for patient parking at facilities that emphasize out-patientservices. The proximity of these hospitals suggests the wisdom of joint planning and shared parking facilities, and the interests ofthe community as a whole would make it_appropriate-for an acceptable demonstration that such planning is in fact taking place. The Melrose Avenue Neighborhoods Association respectfully recommends that the City Council of Iowa City either (1) refuse granting the VA request until, or (2) make its approval of the request contingent upon certain requirements that take into account the seven points made above. Perhaps it would be appropriate for approval being contingent upon a recommendation of an ad hoc Project Review Committee whose membership would include residents of the areas that would be effected by construction:of the proposed parking ramp. f Mr. Ray Wells City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 D IN RM -Ly Rcrm TO, 584-00 Dear Mr. Wells: Consistent with the desires of the City Council, this letter will confirm that the Veterans Administration will be defraying the cost of the realignment of Woolf Avenue at the intersection`of Newton Road and Woolf as part of the construction project; of -,our parking garage.

Commission for re -zoning of a tract of property from R 1A_ to R 3A - -Multi Family. This is for the purpose of constructing a Multi Family dwelling unit on the property. The local address of the property is 2110 North Dubuque Street in Iowa City, Iowan and - more specifically you are referred to its legal description on the attached copy of a plat prepared by Harlan H. Schwob ,on March 10, 1962s shown as Lot Three (3) thereon. At the present time there is a rather dilapidated single family residence on the property which would be moved off if the same is re -zoned for Multi Family, To the north of the property is located the right-of-way of the State of Iowa and Interstate #80. To the West of the property is old Highway #218; to the South of the property is the residential home of your applicant, Aage Jensen. To the east of the property- there is the church property which is the Gospel Church property. 1 Ir Iowa City Pn Jine. 2;7,-',', 1974'.` Paae Two. The property in question is approximately one-half acre in area. It was annexed .to and brought into the City on an involuntary basis and at that time under the City's Ordinance was automatically. classified as RIA. This property at the present time, under the present zoning classification, is not conducive to 'Single Family dwelling be- cause of economics but -it is .conducive to Multi Family dwell- ing. The re -zoning of this property would not adversely effect surrounding- property values but on the contrary would increase surrounding property values. ; The closest home to the property in question is the ` home owned by Aage Jensen and he, of course, is consenting to and requesting the re -zoning.

Iowa 52240 (319) 351-8556 Mr. Ray S. Wells City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Wells: Some weeks ago -you requested that the Commission on Environmental Quality review the NIMLO Model Local.Air Pollution Control Ordi- nance and the "Motor Vehicle Noise Control" for the City of Omaha. In response to this request, CEQ-outlined some recommen- dations with regard to'these documents at its July 17th meeting. It happens that some of the issues raised by these ordinances are closely related to projects.rwhich the Commission has been discussing and developing over the past few months. In both the Model Air Pollution Ordinance -forwarded us and the Noise Control ordinance,.drafted by CEQ (enclosed), there is mention of an Environmental Protection Officer who would be primarily responsible for enforcement activity. With increasing federal and state regulation of'local environmental conditions and the desire of local citizens to institute.programs to improve the environment, the idea of a local -Environmental Protection Officer is, in the Commission's.view,-',a fine one. The Commission on Environmental'Quality will be developing this idea further and will present a proposal to the Council.at a later date. We refer to this concept at this point only because it is directly related to the two ordinances under discussion. The Environmental -.Commission stated two criticisms of the Omaha Motor Vehicle Noise Control -'Ordinance: (1) although motor vehicle noise is a major problem to be addressed in any commu- nity, a noise control ordinance -should be much broader in scope; and (2) the testing procedures specified in the ordinance are elaborate beyond necessity, thereby complicating the enforcement of the ordinance., The `Commission also noted some positive sections in the ordinance and integrated them into the draft of the noise control ordinance for Iowa City. The Omaha ordinance contains noise limits for motor.`vehicles which differ very little, if at all, from those proposed in .our draft. The sections of the E July 25, 1974 Omaha ordinance on new motor. vehicles sold in the city (p. 3) (to be included in our draft) and on Citations --When and How Issued (p 4) were or .will be integrated into our draft. In summary, CEQ does not ''believe :the'Omaha ordinance to be ade- quate, though some sections are very good and have been included in our version of a noise ordinance which will be refined and presented to the City Council. I would like to take this oppor- tunity to request that you look over our latest draft of a noise control ordinance which I have.enclosed. This draft represents the incorporation of 'a wide range of inforamtion, including recom- mendations from the Environmental Protection Agency and ordinances passed in other communities. -This is a very rough draft and will require reorganization, etc. CEQ would greatly appreciate any comments you may:'have`on this document particularly those which would provide us insight into the administrative ramifications of such an ordinance. The Environmental Commission will be discussing the ordinance with regard .to recommendations solicited from various interested parties at its next meeting, July 31st. Since this is rather short notice, we will be glad to,consider any recommendations you may have at',a later.date. CEQ did not review the..NIMLO.Model Air Pollution Ordinance forwarded us, per se. 'Rather the Commission recommends that, at this stage, the open burnifng ordinance drafted by the Commission members (enclosed) be: adopted by the City Council. It is the opinion of CEQ that an Environmental Protection Officer or similar official should be involved in developing and enforcing a, -comprehensive air pollution ordinance. Since open burning is a pressing problem, CEQ supports the immediate passage of an open burning ordinance -for an interim period until there is sufficient staff to warrant the passing of a more comprehensive air pollution ordinance. If you have any"questions.with regard to these matters, please contact me. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Washington, Civic_'Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Czarnecki: In 19693, the Department of -Housing. -and Urban Development, in cooperation with the National League'of Cities,.undertook to•bring university research services to bear directly upon the problems<confronting officials in ten cities. This effort, known as.the:Urban Ob servatory,Program, has achieved its basic objectives and two independent evaluations have confirmed the success of this demonstration program. Following the most recent evaluation in December 1973, HUD concluded that the current Observatories had achieved'sufficient success to justify asking the • participating cities to assume full financial responsibility for their own operations. Further, HUD concluded that the impact in the ten large cities warranted consideration:`of a:new.demonstration-effort designed to test the transferability,of the 'concept to ten smaller 'cities in the 30,000 to 250,000 population range. The purpose of this letter, which we are sending to the mayors and managers of the cities in this population range is to.determine which cities might be. seriously interested in;being;considered:as participants in this new demon- stration program that HUD n&WVIp oposes to fund -beginning in the fall of 1974. NLC will continue:to.:provide.secretariat<and technical assistance services to the new participants: The objectives of the proposed new-program.are much the same as those of the original program and include the establishment'and.testing of the institutional arrangements necessary"to bring university research services to bear upon the policy and applied research needs of city -bfficials.­ 1-, A -one-page summaryof the original program..is attached for yournin£ormation.•., The criteria that have been established for selection of the new Urban Observatory cities are :also attached. We believe, ou should note particularly thefact that this••proposed-newn -demosfor.-a.-three-yearation-program will be fora -three-year per: od and that HUD is`requiring asubstantial'and increasing cash match from . local sources. 1620 Eye ;Street N W , Washington, O C 20006/ (202) 293-7330 / Cable: NLCITIES I® i s f +xy ast s r F i-. r x . ♦'. - } -,r s it �.y, 1 • -., 5 ., :eS ♦� T � � J July 12, 1974 Page Two if believe that your city can meet the established criteria and you wish to you be considered for possible participation in the new program, we would like, not a formal proposal or submission`of any -kind at this time, but rather a short letter from you expressing both-.yourinterest and the ability of your city to meet the criteria.This-letter'should be .postmarked no later than July 31, 1974. Upon receipt of your letter, we will forward to.you, or a designated member of staff, the instructions and format necessary for the preparation and your submission of a formal proposal and -work program. Because there is relatively little time to evaluate the various proposal sub- missions and to conduct the negotiations that will be required if the new observatories are to be 'started by mid fall', we urge you to give us your reaction to this matter as quickly as possible., c rely..,...

In 1965, the National Luague of. Cities began exploratory discussions with milyors of major cities and leading academicians. to refine and operationalize the concept. The Urban Ob- servatory Program was launched In July 1968 by the League under a contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The objectives of the Urban Observatory..Program 'are to: 1. Carry out with university resources the research needs of city officials. 2. Carry out research projects that address the problems common to a number of different communities. 3. Relate university research and training activities to practical city problems. Underlying these objectives are four basic assumptions, as follows: 1. An institutional bridge can be created between.city hall and the academic community. 2. University researchers can provide city officials with data and research support for policy making and problem solving. 3. Contributions can be made to the general body of knowledge in urban affairs by the per- formance of policy and problem oriented research. 4. University service and training capabilities can effectively increase the management and performance levels of cities. There are three basic elements incorporated into the Urban Observatory approach. First, each local observatory Is organized In such away as to. assure the best forms of cooperation between the university and the. city. I Respo . nsiblUty for , establishing this organization and designating a fis- cal agent is vested in the city officials. Second, the research agenda is developed by the participating universities and local governments, although subject to final approval by HUD and must be responsive to the needs of the city officials. Third, a network is established for the dissemination of information, the coordination of activities and projects, and the development of summary ary reports. Network services and administrative and liaison functions are perforated ed by the Urban Observatory staff In NLC and USCM. Ten cities — Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Denver, Kansas City (Kansas and Missouri), Nftlwaukee,-NashviUe,,, and -San Diego'"'were selected by an open competitive pro- cess, and established criteria, to:participaie in the original Program. The Observatories serving these cities have produced over, 150 research reports on such topics as municipal finance, I citizen participation, housing policies, regional, economic development, man- power policies, emergency medical'servIces,, charter revision, housing inspection services, and the delivery of social services. 600 Westgate Street, Apt. 54 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 July 27, 1974 Iowa City City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 To the members of the Iowa City City Council: I wish to communicate to you my concern regarding actions taken by the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees in the appointment of a library director. Enclosed is a copy of a letter I have sent to the Board of Trustees summarizing my concerns. Sincerely yours, 4500 William G.

Iowa 52240 July 27, 1974 I was shocked and saddened by the words and behavior of the Iowa City Public Library- Board ,of_.Trustees at the meeting on July 25, 1974. As an appointed board determining policies which guide a vital tax -supported community. service., - the board has an.ethical and legal responsibility to hear citizen concerns. Yet every effort was made by the board to deny citizens any opportunity to request. information and to express their concerns during the official meeting. Such action exhibits to me a complete and total disdain for the democratic process. I wouldsubmit that . the two hour inforinal gathering after the meeting occurred only because of the outrage felt by many citizens present and because of persistent requests for information. I emphasize that this two hour session.was neither.an`official meeting nor a hearing. No minutes were kept and.no action, could be taken. :With the adjournment of the meeting, the board ceased to.operate•as a corporate body and could act only as individuals. Statements made during that time.were'.those of individuals, not of the library board as a.corporate'body. The library board has not yet provided the oppor- tunity for citizens to discuss ;with them in an official meeting concerns over appointment procedures. Itis most unfortunate that a statement filled with anger, innuendo and sarcasm was accepted unanimously by the library board with no discussion. Categorical judgments and critical `allegations made of any person or persons before even listening to their concerns or allowing them an opportunity to question to me reflects. disinterest in and abhorrence of fairness and due process. Aegretably, I must conclude that the board's action was irresponsible, As an individual who disagrees with the library.board, the board might choose to interpret nq disagreement in the same manner expressed in the board's official statement -- that 'it`is unprofessional and divisive. Such an interpre- tation would be unfair and unwarranted. Icy concerns are prompted by a desire for the best possible library service. in Iowa City. During the selection process I expressed support for no candidate. At the present time, I could support the board's selection of a person who unequivocally met the minimum requirements established.by,the board for the position. j. h _ � - J > r Board of Trustees Iowa City Public Library 307 East College Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Library Trustees: f 600 Westgate Street, Apt, 54 Iowa City..

The Master's Degree in library' science is nationally recognized as the minimum _ professional degree for public_ librarians, and has been so recognized by the ` American Library Association for more than twenty years. Graduate library schools have trained professional. librarians for.more than forty years. As a citizen- of Iowa.City,l I would expect that the director of our public library and all other professional -'staff members `:hold as a minimum this nationally recognized degree particularly when board -established policies, job descrip- tions and advertisesments so state. Acceptance of this degree as minimum preparation for public librarianship is not "gu ldism°; it is an assurance to those whose tax funds support the. library that the individuals serving them in the library have -achieved at least a minimum of 'professional competencies. In establishing qualifications for the.director',s position requiring public library experience and, thorough knowledge of. modernublic library administra- P �'Y• tion, organization, procedures, policies, practices, aims and services, I and other citizens of Iowa City would expect that the director of our public library would meet these requirements. I;.wholeheartedly approve of these board -established qualifications. However., no amount of rhetoric, emotional or unemotional, is likely to -convince me,that they were met in this instance. In choosing not to follow them, I'regretably must conclude that the library board not only violated the civil rights of every actual and potential appli- cant but also violated the public trust. Whatever actions I have•or will take are.motivated by deep personal and professional concerns* for high quality library service in Iowa City. The recent words -and behavior of the library board suggest to me that the board's primary concern is the wanton exercise of power without regard for democratic processes, legal requirements and citizens' concerns.

In appointing an unqualified candidate as director of the library, the Library Board engaged in discriminatory hiring practices. It was not an equal opportunity employer. Such action is contrary to public policy and may'mean the loss of federal funds toward a new 'library building, On July 12, seven members of the professional library staff requested in writing a hearing before the board to discuss the appointment of an.unqualified person as director of the Iowa City. Public Library. Their request was never answered. There was no communication from the board, other than a request that they attend the July 25 board meeting, where they.had`to listen to an unjust, scathing attack. On July 14, I_called the President of the Board and expressed my,concerns over the appointment of an unqualified candidate and requested that my concerns be communicated to the members of the` -library board. I never heard from the President `of the Board or any member. On the morning of July 25, I was visited in my office at the University,;by.two board members and was invited to attend the afternoon board meeting. I did attend, but my request to speak was'denied. I ask that the City Council of Iowa City request the City Attorney to investigate fully the failure of the library board to be an equal opportunity, employer and the failure of the library board to permit citizens to speak at a public board meeting, ncerely, Frederick Weeman 114 S.

Maune, Administrative Assistant FROM: Tons Kushnir, Asst: City Attorney RE: Phone Booths In regard to the installation of telephone booths in the Clanton Street.Mall'.project:and in the'mini parks, there may be some problems. There is,a state statute concerning placing private concerns upon -public ways as well as some Case law. A municipality, unless especially authorized, has no power by lease,, permit or otherwise;to allow the use of a part of a side- walk for.<private business'_purposes. Under present state law, the City:is under obligation to_`keep:`all streets, alleys and public squares•free'from obstructions which prevent its free use as a°publc way to its full extent. Case law adds to this by stating that a_City has no.legal right to license or lease part of the streets to a'person-for his or her private business venture. Under these circumstances I believe it would not be in the City's best"interest to allow installation of telephone booths upon sidewalks at ,the Clinton Mall project. As to the mini<.parks, I feel that it would be possible to allow installation of telephone booths even though the state statute applies to public, squares as well as -to streets and sidewalks. Case lawinterpretsthe statute to mean that the City cannot allow any private .'concerns to obstruct or hinder the full use of.a public way. In,regard to public usage, the mini parks stand in a'different'light `than.a'sidewalk or a street. It would still be possible,to use -the mini parks to their fullest extent withttelephone booths as;long as the telephone booths are not -located in such:a manner as they would obstruct the public way (i.e., upon a sidewalk). Along with the installation of ;the telephonE: booths, the City should enter into an agreement that the telephone company will hold the City free'<and harmless from all damages and claims for damage of any'kind.caused'by the installation or negligent main- tenance 'of`the telephone, booths and that the telephone company shall be liable for any injuries to.the public. If there are any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to Call -me. Thank -you. e i :Johnson County 911 NORTH GOVERNOR. STREET IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 July I6, 1974 Mn.. J. B.

I shall refer to this group hereafter in this statement as the "Dissenters." The Dissenters who consider themselves professionals are currently rai.sinp a storm over the Board's acticns in appointing- Mr.-CharlPs"KauderPr as. Director. The criticism seems to be taking shape in what appears to be a destructive action to destroy Board -Staff relationships and Library -Community relations if it continues unchec'rad. At first the Board was accused of sex discrimination in its selection of a Director. This accusation was made even before facts were known by the accusers as to the procedures the Board used in its selection and i whether the Board was actually covered by the so-called contract between the City and the rECC to hire femalesas administrators. The accusation of sex discrimination will die, if it hasn't already, because of its i falsity. { Now we arP_accused of incompetence, -.P., the Board in essence has 3 t acted stupidly, used poor.judPment, and ;was misled when it chose Mr. KaudPrer over Ms. 1::pgers (the choice of the Dissenters) to be Director. �I e. That Ms. EeaPrs.is one of the Dissenters can be understood although good 'judgment and politic behavior would"suggest that she not attach her name ` to petitions of protest and accusations against the Board. Therefore, she no longer can claim objectivity and fairness in her evaluations of the Board's decision. Well. the charge of stupidity is one that I can live with, for it does not impugn'my honor north(- motives of the Board.,, It is human zo .. .. c•,5%� i ;'•'�.. i ! y� 1.�1F� '�' t.'�•i ` t' •. ` :? 4SF 1>3/::S S ✓tj-_yy be .stupid, and Peen a smart person may show st„n;ri;+.. ; , , , Let us look at somefacts and processes that will allow unbiased observers to first understand the bases for the Board's judgments and then evaluate the situati-on. Then let them ask if the Board was stupid or misguided. But thPy must also consider.that the Dissenters had already made their choi.cP for the Director, even.before the Board had completed its deliberations, and that now they'll be`damned if they will -accept a decision contrary to their choice. .I mention this possibility because of the amount of heat that's been generated, and the kinds of emotional statements and accusations made by various members of t}Ie--Dissenters about Board members to other persons in this community. As it comes now to be revealed, the'experiPnce of the former Director of: the library with this group was'similar to what the Board'is now enduring. Now let •us.considPr somP.of::the-other petty charges being made. How ignorant were Board me. mbers of Mr. Kauderer's lack of thelILS degree? In its deliberations and evaluations of this candidate it was pointed out to the Board that Mr, KauderPr did not possess the MLS degree. It was pointed out, however, that he did havethe 1A degree in Educe;ion with a major in Libra ►Science from Iowa Although the degree was obtained at a time when there was no School o£:Library Science in the state of Iowa nor any .S degree granted, the --School of Library Science at the University of Iowa was formalized subsequently on the very core program that made up the major field for -Tire Kauderer's M.A. degree.

It is not professionalism. Some of us who have been in aeadnmia, as well as in the applied areas, long enoueh would suaRest that there is more to competency and effective- . ness, especially in''evaluting eyecutive ability, than in the mere ac- cummulation of academic credits. In the, long run, the specialized program or school will help to ensure that minimum standards are beim; met. But there are transition periods, and there are persons on the margins of them because of change overs`in programs. Individuals. have to be evaluated in their own right., Course work may provide a foundation for , competency, but it will never guarantee A. It is naive and narrow- minded to think otherwise. There are, numbers of fine librarians in this state and elsewhere who never had the opportunity to get the IfiLS degree. Nor would it be to their advantage nor:;add to their skill or knowledge to go back and _get it once {they'd achieved status in their Profession. Does a proven record need to be reinforced by a degree? I think not.. Now, what about the charge that Mr. Kauderer is not a public librarian? True, he comes to us from.a junior college, library in..a community where there is also a public.libra ryI.- This"fact was also known to the Board.

This judgment was influenced by Mr. Kauderer's experience in business management and with labor relations , his'nine years experience as a library executive with -primary responsibilIities ,'his expe'rience•with a building program for his library (one which tae are about to embark on ourselves), his answers to our questions on paper and in personal interviews, his philosophy of, participatory management (if he is ever going to be allowed by the Dissidents to display 'this), his perceptions of library problems, his attitudestoward personnel relationships and problems, and his general manner and demeanor in dealing with; people.

Thera is some reason to believe that our former Director had problems in deal) -lig effectively with such a power bloc. Further investigation may reveal more ,about this, but I hope it doesn't have to come to that. The point is that the Board has selected someone it believes can lead and deal effectively with the library personnel, be there a clique or not. We are going to see this thing through: No amount of attack, innuendo as to mo,vitati,ons, incompetencies, etc. directed toward the Board members will deter this action or turn us around: The fact that some of the Dissenters,,or:their hirelings, have already seen fit to visit Mattoon Illinois, the hometown of Mr'. Kauderer and the place of his en;ployment,:to ask all manner of persons questions concerning i Mr. Kauderer's behavior, attitudes and character is most repelling and disgusting. What have we here? Iowa City's version of the "plumbers"? Is this ethical and professional conduct? Is there no awareness in t j the group of Dissenters that such inquiries ead to damaging gossip and .t possible character assassination: Or was that the intent? I do not like to believe so, but apparently there is .a course missing in the ;•MS program: One concerned with.ethical conduct.

But I can assure the citizens of Iowa City that the Board was not stupid in its decision to appoint Mr. Charles Kauderer. as Director of the , library. The ,Iowa City Public Libra belongs to the ?`Jr ,g" people of. Iowa City. It is not the personal �! p possession of three, seven or ten of its staff members be they professional librarians or not. Neither is it the } possession of the Board of Trustees.'

If, -because of the actions of E the Dissenters or others on the library staff., Mr. Kauderer chooses to turn down the position 'and remain•in his "Podunkville" we will go through the entire process -of search and selection for a Director all over again. Do not mistake our intentions nor our views on this matter. There is no longer a number two ora number three choice to fall back on. Where does this leave us? , In the estimation of the Board, the Dissident group has acted in an excessive manner that reflects a poor image of this community. Already the people of Mattoon wonder ;if ore Iowa Citians have gone mad. The Dissidents have not even waited to see if the new Director is capable as a leader or not. They have pre -judged him.

F,mployees who cannot -accept or tolerate a: new boss can leave. If the Dissenters find this to be such an intolerable situation, they may resign. The Board will accept those resignations. If the Dissenters choose to remain but hinder or obstruct the work of the new Director, they will be asked to resign on the basis .of insubordination and inattention to duties in their respective positions: i If they thought that the Board would quail under the furor and { publicity they've created, they_made'a serious.error in judgment.
