Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. Mayor Sonterre thanked Mr. Ulrich on behalf of the Council and wished him well. 8. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS None. 9. REPORTS Council Member Thomas stated she learned more than expected in Duluth. She thanked the Council for convincing her to go and she said she will prepare a report and recommendations to the Council. Council Member Marty stated he received an email from City Administrator Miller on June 18 at 10:24 a.m. He explained he left the state on Friday, June 15, and wasn’t clear why City Admi nistrator Miller reported at the last Council meeting that she sent an email to him with no response. He questioned why a meeting was scheduled while he was gone. The Council/Administrator retreat is to be just that; not a partial administrator or partial Council retreat because then it is invalid. He noted the Council has known for a number of months that he couldn’t attend on the date it was scheduled. Council Member Marty pointed out that the packets were sent out on Friday, June 15 at 4:43 p.m., for the Monday, June 18 meeting but the Council packets are to be ready by the end of the Thursday prior to the Monday meeting. He asked why that packet was sent out past the deadline. He also made a formal request on behalf of himself and numerous citizens to be furnished with copies of the contracts for the City Administrator, the Assistant City Administrator, and the City Attorney, as he does not currently have copies of these documents. Mayor Sonterre stated that Council Member Quick has asked him for the contracts but there is no contract for the assistant who is in an assistant position and not a contract position. If there are people requesting information, they are free to come in to the City Hall and request that information. Mayor Sonterre suggested that Council Member Quick talk to the Administrator about the contracts. Mayor Sonterre stated he’s given him that information twice previously and this is the third time. City Administrator Miller offered to explain why she sent an email to him at 10:24 a.m. She explained that often times she has assumed he had his computer with him and hadn’t received notification that he would be gone. Council Member Quick said he didn’t have his computer with him. The packet was sent out at 4:43 p.m. and was supposed to be presented the previous day.
