• 1 COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 12, 2006 APPROVED originally scheduled for June 9, has been delayed due to a number of factors to a tentative closing date of July 24. Finance Director Rolek stated staff has deliberated with bond counsel relative to the timing of the sale of the Tax Abatement bonds, originally set for June 26, and has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to postpone the sale of these bonds until after the closing on the conduit bonds. It is possible that the closing on the conduit bonds may be pushed back beyond the July 24 date, thereby requiring some flexibility in resetting the sale date of the Tax Abatement bonds. Finance Director Rolek advised staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the Finance Director to determine the date for a public hearing, publish notice of the hearing, and set the sale date of the Tax Abatement bonds to a date which follows the closing on the conduit bonds. Councilmember Reinert moved to approve Resolution No. 06-96 and Resolution No. 06-97, as presented. Councilmember O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAN TESCH City Hall Security and Access Policy, Gordon Heitke — City Administrator Heitke advised the Council recently approved the installation of an improved access control system to increase security for City Hall. The new security system utilizes programmed cards and card readers, providing better access management than the former key system. As part of the discussions regarding security improvements, the Council has had discussions during two work sessions as to whether Councilmembers need access to the secured staff office area outside of regular business hours. Upon the decision of the Council, staff will complete the updating of the City Hall security policies and procedures. Councilmember O'Donnell moved to develop a City Hall access policy that allows Councilmembers 24/7 access to the outside doors and library but does not include access to the secured areas within City Hall. Councilmember Stoltz seconded the motion. After much discussion, Council directed staff to explore options regarding Councilmember access to mail boxes before fully implementing the new policy. Motion carried with Councilmember Carlson voting no. PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAVE PECCHIA There was no report from the Public Safety Department.
