EASTERN COLORADO PLAINSMAN
THURS., APR. 17, 1980,
we pI
nnln
The Hugo Town Board, during its April meeting, failed again to
come up with any type of definite plan in obtaining a replacement for
Town Clerk Bill Dutro.
Some months ago, when Dutro announced his plans to leave the
clerk's position, he dearly outlined to the board his intention of leav-
ing the post by October 1980. The town board agreed when Dutro
made his announcement that it may not be a bad idea to start looking
for a replacement, several months before Dutro's departure. That
would give the individual hired an opportunity to learn the
ins-and-outs of a very complicated and multi-faceted position.
Mayor Sterling has, at severaltown board meetings, encouraged
members of Hugo's governing body to begin to formulate plans for a
replacement for Dutro. Each time the subject has surfaced, many
blank looks can be observed around the table which determines the
future of this eastern Colorado community.
If there are questions as to how to go about replacing a chief oper
ating officer for a community like this, there are several sources
available, both locally and through state agencies.
A good starting point for the town board would be to form a com-
mittee, assessing the needs of Hugo and what skills a replacement for
Dutro would need. Next, a specific job outline of what the town clerk
now does would be needed, along with what that position would entail
in the future. Perhaps there should be a review of the salary paid the
individual, and a listing of the benefits of the job. We are sure that, in
committee form, it would not be quite as difficult in determining what
exactly the position pays, though that information was a little hard to
come by at the last town board meeting.
After the committee decides what the duties of the job are, after a
salary has been set and the type of educational requirements needed
for the position are made clear, perhaps some sort of job announce-
ment could be made. Local papers could be used; we even dare sug-
gest an ad in The Limon Leader so that wider exposure of the job
would be made available, and that perhaps there would be some sort
of candidate selection.
After applications are received, and a list of finalists is determined,
interviews could be set. Then the undesirables could be weeded out,
whereby a fmal selection could then be made. 4
We further suggest the possible involvement of some outside com-
munities in the interview process, and perhaps even some private
citizens. 4
In fact, this whole committee idea could involve private citizens,
members of the council, and even the eouneil as a whole;, .... 4
This may seem a bit on the 'going-overboard-side,' but we urge 4
the Hugo Town Board to come to a workable solution to fred a re- 4
placement for Dutro. We also urge consideration for what is needed
for the position, and we urge the town board to begin taking applica-
tions from interested parties. More definitive plans are needed than
4
just questioning-each town board member if they have thought of 4
anyone to take Big s job.
Set your goals and plans for this very important decision now; the 4
person you will'select for this position will determine the future of
Hugo.

Offers to sell wheat by 47
Lincoln County producers
have been accepted by the
Commodity Credit Corpora-
tion (CCC), through the Linc-
oln County Agricultural Sta-
bilization and Conservation
Service (ASCS) office, this
week, according to Earl Mc-
Donnell, executive director.
The offers total 504,575
bushels, and represent 85 per
cent of the total offers, Mc-
Donnell said. The base price
is $3.55 per bushel, subject to
discounts and premiums if
different than No. 1 wheat.
McDonnell said that CCC is
removing the wheat from the
marketplace to offset the ef-
fect of suspending exports to
the Soviet Union.

U.S. Rep. Ken Kramer (R-
Colo.), says he is now taking
applications for two summer
intern positions on.his Wash-
ington staff.
"The LBJ Congressional In-
tern Program offers an excel-
lent opportunity for one stu-
dent and one teacher from the
5th District to spend a month
in our nation's capital, learn-
ing firsthand how their federal
government works," Kramer
said.
In addition to working on
his staff, those who are cho-
sen will be able to attend sem-
inars, watch committee and
floor proceedings in the
House and Senate, and in
their off-hours go sightsee-
ing.
Each intern who is selected
• $
will be paid $740 to help de-
fray the cost of transporta-
tion, to and from Washington,
lodging, meals and other liv-
ing expenses.
To qualify, students must
live in the 5th District, have
completed their freshman year
in college, and show proof of
enrollment for the 1979-80
academic year. The student
who is selected will serve on

from July 15 to Aug. 15.
In addition to the residency
requirement, teacher appli-
cants must teach either gov-
ernment or social studies at
