Mounds View City Council April 23, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br />. Council Member Thomas stated she had similar concerns to Council Member Stigney indicating <br />she is very much in favor of open meetings. She then stated she feels Council needs to publicly <br />discuss and decide what, if any, meetings are not telecast. <br />Council Member Marty stated he was willing to entertain a friendly amendment to his motion. <br />Council Member Stigney requested a friendly amendment to take the phrase "meetings <br />determined to be exempt by city council" out of the Resolution. <br />Mayor Sonterre questioned whether it would be simpler to require that any meetings held at City <br />Hall in Council Chambers be broadcast. <br />Council Member Quick explained there is already a process Council must go through in order not <br />to televise a meeting. He noted the Resolution allows Council the opportunity to make a <br />decision not to televise a meeting. He stated he felt that residents have a responsibility to stay <br />informed and the City cannot do everything for them. He then asked if a birthday party attended <br />by three Council members would need to be taped and televised noting he thought that was a bit <br />extreme. <br />Council Member Marty accepted the friendly amendment to his motion. <br />City Attorney Riggs noted Paragraphs 3, 6, and the last clause would need to be changed as they <br />S all contain the same phrase. <br />Mayor Sonterre accepted the friendly amendment. <br />Council Member Quick asked if the Resolution would work as proposed. <br />City Attorney Riggs explained the change to the Resolution means Council will have to go back <br />and amend the Resolution each time. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />D. Resolution 5558 Approving Golf Course Temporary Positions <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed noted the golf course manager has asked for three <br />additional temporary positions to cover for the seasonal employees when they are not available. <br />Council Member Stigney pointed out the range pickerlflower garden position was not in the <br />previous Resolution. He then asked if there would be a problem adding an additional range <br />picker as the original Resolution specified three range pickers. <br />Ms. Reed explained this Resolution would be adding additional workers to the pool to choose <br />• from but no additional hours would be added. <br />
