Mayor Sullivan stated if <br />the timing was right, she would sign the check. Mayor Sullivan <br />directed Vaske to confirm with the City Attorney that all <br />obligations have been met and would like the confirmation in <br />writing. Mayor Sullivan noted that she pulled the government <br />training dispersement from the consent agenda last meeting as it <br />was for administrator training and it was not covered in the <br />agreement. Mayor Sullivan directed staff to put it back on the <br />consent agenda for the next meeting. <br />PDI UPDATE <br />There is currently sixty four candidates for the City <br />Administrator position.
