C~ • Council Member Stigney requested clarification regarding Item H. Mayor Coughlin stated this item was the result of discussion at the Work Session.

Council Member Stigney stated this was a good idea. He explained this was what he had intended, and thought all the Council Members should review the personnel policies, and provide their comments for consideration at a Work Session, prior to the City Attorney's review. City Administrator Whiting clarified this action simply to authorize the City Council to agree to the expense of the City Attorney's review of the matter. He stated the City Attorney would work with the Council on all comments provided at the Work Sessions, in order to prepare the personnel policies for Council's final approval. He stated there were several questions, yet unresolved, and the matter is not in final form. He stated Council Member Stigney had provided various comments over a year ago, and these would be put on the table, and be discussed between the Council Members and City Attorney in the finalization of the matter. Mayor Coughlin stated, in that context, he would move approval of Item H. Council Member Stigney inquired when this would take place. City Administrator Whiting stated this would be during the September Work Session. Council Member Stigney stated he was agreeable to that, as long as their input is taken.
