Also Present: City Administrator Zuleger, City Attorney Snyder, City Engineer Griffin, Assistant City Engineer Stempski, City Planner Johnson, City Clerk Thone, and Finance Director Bendel. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Council Member Smith asked that the Reports Section be moved to the end of the council meeting. She expressed most residents attend the meeting for specific items on the agenda and moving this would save them from having to wait through sometimes lengthy reports. She noted two council members requested movement of the Reports Section to the end of the meeting’s agenda. Mayor Johnston stated that the council had moved the Reports Section previously to where it is currently by specific action of the council. He disagreed with changing that motion since the item was not on this week’s agenda. He noted he was in support of retaining the Reports Section at the beginning of the agenda and suggested the matter be placed on next meeting’s city council agenda. Council Member Smith noted two council members requested movement of the Reports Section to the end of the meeting’s agenda and therefore it should have been included in this evening agenda. City Administrator Zuleger confirmed that the request had been made and he was intending to seek council’s direction prior to placing it on the next council agenda.
