He asked Administrator Worthington for background on what this was for and how the $175.00 was arrived at. Administrator Worthington said this was for the review of sign permits for the SE Corner. The City's Civil Attorney firm reviews planning and zoning for the City and advised on the sign permit applications submitted for the SE Corner. The $175.00 is based upon the hourly rate for that individual. Mr. Olson asked how many hours the $175.00 represents and Administrator Worthington said about one and one-half hours. This item was part of the larger civil contract for that month but was broken out so that it could be correctly accounted for. Mr. Olson noted that the Deputy Clerk was not in attendance and he wanted to know who would be writing up the minutes. Administrator Worthington said the Deputy Clerk would be writing them up from the videotape. Mayor Gehrz said there had been a death in the Deputy Clerk's family, which is why she is not in attendance this evening. Mr. Olson asked about the credit card statement included in the agenda packet. There is a billing for Ole Mexico and the explanation given is staff luncheon. He asked who attended the luncheon and if there was any business conducted there. Administrator Worthington said that Parks and Public Works Director Hoag, Employment Consultant Lisa Lynn and she discussed the hiring of a Recreation Supervisor/Administrative Assistant at that meeting. Reimbursement for expenditures like this is requested only when City business is discussed. Mr. Olson read aloud the heading for Consent Agenda Item #3 and asked if this isn't a decision to be made by the Council as to who gets to be . the Data Practices Compliance Official, as opposed to this soon to be motion whereby the City Administrator will take on this responsibility.
