Report of Clerk Administrator <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that he and Ms. Crane met regarding YMCA issues, staffing <br />issues, internal policies, and communication issues and discussed ways to implement policies and <br />procedures and how to handle programs with the YMCA. <br />Mayor Marty indicated that he has had issues he is not happy with regarding the YMCA so he <br />met with Pat Reimersma and Staff and that is why this was brought up because the contract is up <br />at the end of the year and he would like to get some things fixed over there. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that he met with Bethlehem Baptist Church Friday to discuss <br />the second half gift provided to the City and they did not include scheduled disbursements but <br />did want to discuss with the City how the funds would be used. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that contract negotiations with the LELS are ongoing. He <br />then said that an executive session would be requested in August to discuss this matter with the <br />Council. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson commented that the 2008 Safety Camp has been cancelled for the <br />year. There were a lot of disappointed people including kids and staff that look forward to the <br />program but, enrollment was not high enough to justify moving forward with the camp. <br />i Staff suggested starting the August work session at 6:00 p.m., as there are many items on the <br />Agenda. Council agreed. <br />
