He agreed that the budget should <br />be looked at to see how much was left. <br />Councilmember Hodges stated he would also like to discuss the issue at <br />the next agenda session. Mayor McCarty replied that the maintenance <br />supervisor could submit a report and would not have to appear in person. <br />Mr. Doty replied that the public has a right to question the maintenance <br />supervisor in person, instead of having to listen to his report presented <br />by someone else. <br />Mr. Loeding stated he would like to be able to see the monthly reports <br />from department heads. Councilmember Ziebarth replied that the reports <br />would be available upon request at City Hall but that due to the length <br />of some of the reports, they might have to charge if someone wanted their <br />own copy. <br />Councilmember Hodges stated that due to the problems with the streets, <br />the City should take a closer look at maintaining them.

He explained <br />that the City of Blaine had been doing so in the past but was presently <br />too busy to continue. Mayor McCarty replied that he would like to dis- <br />cuss it further at an agenda session, which would allow the Council time <br />to discuss it with the Fire Chief and maintenance supervisor. <br />Acting Administrator Anderson reported that the City vehicle driven by <br />Art Holm had been involved in an accident the past week, and that the <br />truck had not been damaged.
