166 <br />JOINT COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 17, 1989 <br />meeting. He also suggested that the committee hold two <br />meetings in February. Mayor Haberman asked that there be <br />timely exchange of information between the cities so that all <br />information is shared and decisions can be made before the <br />meetings. He felt if this did not happen, the members would <br />just be spinning their wheels. <br />Mr. Peterson suggested a separate independent party chair the <br />steering committee. Mr. Keinath suggested that the Chairman <br />of the Fire Commission be invited as the seventh member of <br />the steering committee. Mr. Bisel said he felt it is just <br />the three cities responsibility to draw up the Joint Powers <br />Agreement and it is the responsibility of the Fire Commission <br />to follow what has been given to them. Mayor Dahl explained <br />that since they have to carry out the Agreement, it may be <br />helpful to get their input to be sure they can operate within <br />the Agreement. Mr. Reinert suggested that after the document <br />is renegotiated, the Fire Commission review it in terms of <br />operational procedures. Mayor Dahl suggested that each <br />Council decide if they want to appoint a Fire Commission as <br />one of their two steering committee members. <br />A chairman of the steering committee was discussed. Mr. <br />Reinert suggested that the administrators of the three cities <br />be the chair on a rotating basis. The purpose of the <br />chairman would be to keep the committee pulled together or to <br />be sure that the group focuses on the issue at hand. <br />Mr. Keinath suggested that if a concensus does not appear to <br />be growing by April 1st, the three cities look at mediation <br />services. He hoped that this would not be necessary. <br />Mr. Peterson suggested that all three Councils hold a monthly <br />joint meeting to measure what the steering committee has <br />accomplished. Mayor Dahl asked that each Council appoint its <br />members to the steering committee at their next regular <br />Council meeting. <br />It was decided to appoint Jim Keinath as the first chairman <br />of the steering committee. He is to call the first meeting <br />of the committee and gather the concerns of each Council for <br />that meeting. <br />The joint Council meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M. <br />These minutes were considered and approved at a regular <br />council meeting on February 13th 1989. <br />M�ARI�LYN \.
