Fahey stated that he spent about half a day in court house <br />on this matter and told the Gity Attorney where to find the information. <br />Mr. Fahey also commented on Mrs. Nardini's asking the Flttorney if he <br />has completed this or that, and the Attorney is not following up on <br />these things.

Mr. Jespersen commented <br />that since Mr. Parks has been City Attorney, the City has installed a <br />complete sewer system and the Attorney has to obtain all the easements <br />for this. <br />Mr. Fahey commented that he had to obt~in the easement for Bob and Linda <br />Johnson himself. <br />Mr. Jespersen commented that perhaps the Council should be looking at the <br />job some of the other people are doing for the City. Mr. Fahey commented <br />that he had no problem with the job the P1anner or Engineer are doing <br />for the City. <br />Mr. Jespersen commented that the City will loose all its people and the <br />Council will end up starting a11 over again with new people. <br />Mr. Fahey commented that meeting after meeting the Council is finding <br />things that are not done. <br />Mr. Parks commented that there are a lot of things he does for the City <br />and certain things that he feels are more important are done first. <br />Mr. Parks commented that he would not defend himself as it seemed to be <br />a cut and dried situation. <br />Mr. Forsberg commented that it is not cut and dried. <br />Mr. Parks stated that in the eleven years he has been City Attorney he <br />has obtained a lot of easements for the City and the City has only had <br />to condemn one piece of property in order to obtain an easement. <br />Mr. Parks stated that he has worked weekends and nights for the City. <br />Mr. Parks also stated that he could not live on the income he obtains <br />from his position as City Attorney and has other interests he also <br />pursues. Mr. Parks stated that when the Council asks him to do something, <br />he will do his best to get the job done, but there are times when he is <br />doing other things. The Attorney stated that sometimes even working full- <br />time for the City it is not possible to get things done for the next meeting. <br />Page -28- <br />
