Regular Council Meeting 11/21/OS Page 2 CONSIDERATION OF 1VIIN~LTT'ES Regular Council Meeting -October 24, 2005 Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to approve the minutes. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Minutes Approved COMMENTS FROM MAYOR RINKER Mayor Rinker indicated that we will continue to experiment with the set-up of Council at Civic Hall.
