New City Finance Director Jack Tonkovich, a former Coeur d'Alene banker, was confirmed unanimously by the council in a five-minute special session, which was then adjourned for the new director to meet city officials. A budget controversy followed the opening of the regular council meeting when Neill Public Library personnel and directors asked the council for' $9,000 in additional remodeling funds. Roberta Armstrong, library chairman of the board, described conditions at the library as "something that would be wildly comic if you were in a Marx Brothers movie." . Armstrong estimated remodeling expenses at around $19,000. The library has approximately $10,000 with which to remodel and needs $9,000 fr-om the council, said Armstrong. "Then there's no problem," said Councilman Ron Wachter, "because we don't have any money." , The library discussion was followed with one on council goal-setting and communi- cations. The issue was sparked by confusion and public concern on whether Larse 'would be replaced or the position would be discontinued. counci~man Bill Gaskins said a consensus of the council was to refill the position. Larse said some concern has been caused by a Lewiston Morning Tribune article that the councrl was dISCUSSingthe issue, and no position had publicly been taken by the eouncu.
