He also asked if there is a contract to be concerned with. E. Rotary Membership City Administrator Miller indicated she did not have the information available for discussion at this meeting. Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated that the City pays $700.00 annually for the membership but the amounts are paid quarterly. She then said she is not sure whether there is a contract. Council Member Marty said he was looking at this as a way to save money because the City is having trouble finding a representative available to attend the meetings.
