Regular Council Meeting <br />8-13-01 <br />Page 11 <br />Council President Marquardt asked for a motion to recess into Executive Session for the purposes of <br />discussing real estate. <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Ilacqua, made a motion to recess into Executive Session for the <br />purposes of discussing real estate. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Council recessed into Executive Session at 9:10 p.m. <br />Council reconvened at 9:45 p.m. (Mr. Ilacqua was not present; he left the meeting during the <br />Executive Session.) <br />OPEN PORTION - 3-minute limit imposed by Chair. Those who wish to speak must first state <br />their name and address. This open portion is limited to discussion pertaining to the items under <br />"New Business" only. <br />There were no comments. <br />ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL <br />CLOSING COMMENTS <br />Mayor Rinker said the discussion earlier during the meeting regarding SPAN is a good example <br />of taking time for dealing with sensitive issues. He knows Chief Stevens was put to the task and <br />he appreciates Council President Marquardt's comment about that because he had asked that <br />Chief Stevens do it. He knows that based on his experience with SPAN, there is a certain <br />visibility to all of this. We can all agree, for different reasons perhaps, but it is nice to be able to <br />say that an issue that caused people to give some second thoughts but a difficult issue got <br />handled, ultimately, with some preriy good sensitivity and thoroughness. We are dealing with a <br />number of different communities on this. It was refreshing to see overall how this went. <br />Mrs. Cinco said the Drainage & Infrastructure Committee can meet September 6. She asked that <br />someone let her know whether morning or afternoon is more convenient. She was sad to see that <br />the Architectural Review Board approved the green roof for TrueNorth. She has been receiving <br />a number of complaints. There is a TrueNorth at Brainard and Wilson Mills with a green <br />TrueNorth sign but no green roof and it looks nice. She is disappointed with how that looks. <br />Mr. Busa asked why we can't get the weeds down on our property on S.O.M. Center Road and <br />the dead trees. He knows it is a lot of work; we should contract it out or something. Some of the <br />weeds are 20-30' tall. <br />Mr. Metzung said duly noted.
