Steve Norwood gave a brief update on the consent agenda items. (1) Ms. Bair's attorney and
Steve Deiter, City Attorney have met recently and worked out some of the differences. Still
recommending tabling at this time. (2) Asking to reject zone change request; however,
petitioner is requesting that this item be pulled. The Council still needs to take some action.
(3) Have not been able to make contact with Mr. Jeske regarding the reseeding and establishing
of burmuda grass, staff still recommending denial of payment. (4) Asking one change in your
motion, City Attorney had put in "within 500 ft of a residential area", that should be "1000
feet".
Councilman Naish made the motion to approve the items on the consent agenda with the change
in item 4 from "500 feet" to "1000 feet". Motion seconded by Councilman Messenger. Mayor
read the Ordinance into the record. Vote as follows: Mayor Akin - yes; Councilman Swartz -
yes; Councilwoman Allen - yes; Councilman Mondy - yes; Councilman Wright - yes;
Councilman Messenger - yes and Councilman Naish - yes. Motion carried - all in favor.
ITEM NO. 5 - Discuss and Consider Approval of an Upgrade to the Municipal Complex
Telephone System. Mr. Norwood prefaced the discussion by noting that the present system
presents frustrations in the area of customer service by the fact that there are no less than two
contacts before an individual reaches the person they need or want to speak with. This new
system uses a direct dialing system and will facilitate customer service calls and increase
accountability for long distance usage. There should not be any budget impact with the new
system.
Motion was made by Councilman Mondy to approve the item as written. Seconded by
Councilwoman Allen. Voting as follows: Mayor Akin - yes; Councilman Swartz - yes;
Councilwoman Allen - yes; Councilman Mondy - yes; Councilman Wright - yes; Councilman
Messenger - yes; Councilman Naish - abstain. Motion carried - 6 in favor.
ITEM NO. 6- Discuss and Consider authorizing certain budget amendments. These items were
discussed in a previous work session. One item reflects a jail injury from approximately two
years ago. Motion was made by Councilman Messenger, seconded by Councilman Swartz. Vote
as follows: Mayor Akin - yes; Councilman Swartz - yes; Councilwoman Allen - yes;
Councilman Mondy -yes; Councilman Wright- yes; Councilman Messenger -yes; Councilman
Naish - yes. Motion carried - all in favor.
