Council Minutes of 3-15'77 -11- was submit*_ed to Council a couple of weeks ago. On that list of 19 streets there were 7 streets which were in Ward 4: she Committee met and on those 19 streets all 7 of the streets in Ward 4 were excluded from their priority: there were 8 streets excluded - 7 of those 8 were in Ward 4. Mr. Beaty stated he is not on that Committee but feels quite sure that when we have a professional opinion of those streets which do need repaving - we will find that there are a number of those streets up in the top priority. Mr. Beaty stated it also came to his attention tonight that this mie+eting was called without the knowledge of all three Com~.ttee Members. Mr. Baa~sty stated the third member who was not notified happens to be one of the radicals -- so•-called radical meaa~er of Council who is on the outs with the party. Mrs. Sara~ex stated that the list of streets that as a Committee referred to F3aa~aaECe Ca>~ttee did not transpire manly at our last meeting: it was the second last meeting when every member of the Cosm~.ttee was there and she submitted the Iist to the Finance Chairman, and Mr. Boehaa~r was also there. Mr. Boehaaaer stated he did not see the list - the only list he had was the one which was assailed with the legislation and the list was one over at the meeting Monday night at which he was not in attendance. Mrs. Beringer stated she was sorry - she did not 'know Mr. Boehmer was unaware of the aaaeeting sand she did not call the meeting. Mr. Beaty stated at this point under l~ew Business since the question of ethics did coaa~ up tonight, he thinks this was very unethical to do and would like the procedure of ethics on Council exercised at this point. He thinks two Members of a Coaaaaaaittee met uanknownst to the third aaaaa:eber and will ask for the proper procedure to Look into this. Mr. Beaty stated he would definitely not like to see these lI streets put on an appropriation ordinance which has many studied out thiage, eo be tagged in and railroaded through. Mr. Wilaataosky conm~ented it is kind of ironic that he does not hear any adverse comments from the third r of Mrs. Saringer's Ceasreittee but he would like to speak prianarily on the meeting. Mr. Wilaaarosky stated he did speak with ~lrs. Saringer about settiaag up a joint Ming: fir. Wilsky stated he atteaa~ted to contact our Clerk but because of her re bilities at the Beard of Elections this past weak in certifying the signatures of the referendum Petition - was able to contact the Clerk just this past Friday - leaving a note in her office and stopping back in the afteranoon to confirm it. Does not think there was anything as implied by Mr. Beaty who is not even a meaa~er of that Co~amittee who is apparently speaking for the third r who is here today and can certainly speak on behalf of himself. The Clerk verified with Mr. Wilamosky that she had called him with respect to whether or not certain pieces of legislation which had been referred to his Committee should be placed on the Agenda. She did see his note on Friday which stated that he has a meeting Monday night with Finance Coaasa.ttee aaei Streets ~ Drainage Committee. Clerk stated if this was soaa~thfng that she should have told all Meaaibers the Clerk did net underataad that from the note. She was not told to notify anyone. Clerk thought Mr. Wilaaa~sky already had contacted everyone. Mr. Boehmer stated as Council knows, he did bring this up earlier in the Caucus Room and he said it openly and everyone understood him so he did not feel that he had to actually bring it up again in front of Mr. Wilamosky or anyone else.
