1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING February 10, 1986 Page Twelve Mayor Benson stated that he felt that the Council has the responsibility of listening to any citizens and would not support mandating a procedure calling for substantiation of all claims. Mr. McKenna outlined a suggestion of forming a review board of seven members, allowing up to three Centerville members (Mayors of each City to appoint members), which would meet monthly at the onset, be open to the public, and hear compliments and complaints with regard to police protection. Mayor Benson suggested a board of 3 -4 members to be appointed by the entire Council. Mr. Reinert stated that he had specifically asked Mrs. Apitz to return with facts in writing rather than the verbal presentation such as Mr. McKenna gave. Mayor Benson asked that Mr. McKenna /Mrs. Apitz put together this presentation in writing and submit it to the Council. Mr. Reinert suggested that the Charter Commission get active once again and see where special interest groups belong and decide how problems such as this should be handled. He also voiced a concern that this item did not appear on this evening's agenda, therefore he felt it improper to discuss the issue, particularly to take a formal action such as Mr. Bisel's motion. Mr. Hawkins, as requested, checked and found nothing which would make it illegal to discuss and act upon an issue which did not appear on an agenda. Mr. Benson told Mr. Bisel, that the Council has made it a policy to go by the agenda. NEW BUSINESS Teague of Minnesota Cities Conference. 1986 - Mayor Benson told Mr. Schumacher that he plans on attending the conference on June 17 -20, should he feel that the agenda items would be bene- ficial to him.
