Mounds View City Council June 25, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 15 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 Thomas stated it is in the beginning of August, which was previously set. Mayor Sonterre said this discussion should not be taken as argumentative. It is important to get a meeting in this quarter as soon as possible prior to the next quarter's meeting. Unfortunately, Council Member Quick didn't get the email in time but the Council had requested possible dates from City Administrator Miller. Mayor Sonterre noted that there have been significant problems in getting a date that would work and the meeting for this Wednesday was the one where at least four people could attend. Council Member Quick suggested that previous Council members and staff who have been around be asked if there have been retreats or meetings. He stated these meetings recently have
