COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 24, 1997 Mayor Landers explained that personnel matters need to be dealt with in a closed door session. He also stated the consensus of the Council was to go with the letter that was provided by the attorney the City hired. He emphasized that the attorney handling this matter was not the City Attorney. Therefore, it is his recommendation to leave the letter as is and it is any Council Members prerogative to vote no in regards to the letter and the Consent Agenda. Council Member Lyden stated he vote "no" as he believes it is wrong. Council Member Bergeson asked if it is not typical that when there is a question on an item that it be segregated into a separate vote. Mayor Landers responded yes but he was told Friday in regard to the letter, if consensus was made to move it as a separate item on the agenda, it would happen. But if there is a majority who believe the letter is fine as is, then it would stay on the consent agenda and be voted on with the other consent agenda items. Council Member Bergeson pointed out that since Council Member Lyden is not in favor of Resolution No. 97 -31, but may be in favor of the other items on the consent agenda, it should be made a separate item. He stated his understanding of a consent agenda was to group together routine items that would have the consensus of the Council. Council Member Kuether moved that Item 1B, Resolution No. 97 - 31 Regarding Reprimand be removed from the consent agenda and voted on following the consent agenda. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. • Council Member Kuether moved to approve the consent agenda as amended. Council Member • Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
