COUNCIL MINUTES January 21, 2014 <br />DRAFT <br />3 <br /> 91 <br />Mayor Reinert noted that the council has before them an amendment that woul d change the District’s 92 <br />governa nce process. C onsideration of that amend ment is the purpose of this meeting. The 93 <br />amendment will be considered by the other two member cities also. If agreement isn’t reached on this 94 <br />amendment, then he will be asking the council to consider the withdrawa l process at the next council 95 <br />meeting. 96 <br /> 97 <br />The motion was adopted. There were three ayes (Stoesz, Kusterman, Reinert) and two nays (Roeser 98 <br />and Rafferty). Mayor Reinert asked for an explanation from those who voted nay. 99 <br /> 100 <br />Council Member Roeser said he vo ted no because h e doesn’t support the arbitrary change that 101 <br />brought forward the four veto annual limit that is included in the amendment. He would prefer to see 102 <br />the joint powers agreement continue but knows that there must be some adjustments to keep up w ith 103 <br />the times. 104 <br /> 105 <br />Council Member Rafferty noted that while he has respect for the city administrator’s opinion, he sees 106 <br />that the fire chief is in charge of administering the fire district for three cities and that administration 107 <br />includes staff and the steeri ng committee. Mr. Rafferty believes that there has been fair opportunity 108 <br />to work out an equality situation for all of the cities. The veto power would not be an obstruction. 109 <br /> 110 <br />ADJOURN 111 <br /> 112 <br />There being no further business, Council Member Rafferty moved to adj ourn at 6:21 p.m. Council 113 <br />Member Stoesz seconded the motion.
