MEETING IS CALLED TO ORDER 2. ROLL CALL: Linke, Quick, Marty, Stigney, and Gunn 3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA A. Monday, February 10, 2003 City Council Agenda. Approved by consensus. 4. PUBLIC INPUT William Werner of 2765 Sherwood Road addressed the Council and said the State is cutting expenses, there is a terrorist problem, and an impending war but Council Members keep spending money for things that are not needed. David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road addressed Council and asked that Council look into the City's priorities and not spend. He stated he missed the last meeting but watched it on tape and watched the work session. He is concerned with priorities and, due to cuts with the state, how money is spent because it will be tougher in the future. He then said that he would like each department to look into where cuts can be made and prioritize what needs to be spent because the City's infrastructure is old and needs improvements and he would like some of the wants to be put on a lower priority so that the money is available for infrastructure. Mr. Jahnke indicated he is not against trails but he thinks the City needs to look into its priorities as the golf course is a serious problem and the Community Center has been costing more and more. He then asked if there were three loans on the golf course. Mayor Linke clarified that there was one loan rolled over three times. Mr. Jahnke indicated the City needs to start looking at expenses and how things can be cut. He then said that infrastructure should be number one and the rest prioritized from there. He asked if the golf course could be refinanced.
