Mounds View City Council January 7, 2002 Special Meeting Page 22 City Administrator Miller indicated that during the budget process there are dollars set aside for attending conferences. She then indicated that, if Council wants to authorize attendance at conferences in the future that can be done. Mayor Sonterre indicated that the first conference was held in Washington, D.C. and definitely was discussed prior to his attending because he was proud to mention that he was to be part of the crime prevention committee. He also indicated that when he returned from that meeting he had provided a summary to Council on the meeting and mentioned that the next meeting would be in Atlanta in December. He further commented that he had no problem with Council setting a protocol to discuss and authorize conferences. Council Member Stigney indicated he disagreed that it was discussed because he was talking to City Administrator Miller and she asked him how he felt about spending money to send the Mayor to conferences and he told her that it was a waste of money.

Council Member Thomas indicated that because of the split decision on the vote the City Attorney had recommended tabling the matter and Council voted on a tabling motion. Council Member Stigney indicated he did not agree because he had said the prevailing party should make a motion. • Council Member Thomas indicated that there were two versions of the same resolution and there was not a prevailing party so the City Attorney recommended a motion to table.
