She worked with him for quite some time and can attest to his professionalism and dedication to our city. He will be missed, and she thanked him for his years of service. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, thanked Councilwoman Kasler for the excellent way she is looking after the budget and doing the things that Councilpeople are supposed to be doing. Legislatively, she is absolutely correct and would like to publicly support her because he feels the rules regarding the lender have nothing to do with the rules of how Council should observe and check out projects. He does not believe that a surplus in one project account should be transferred to another project account even though it is on the same borrowing note. He believes this should be stipulated in the legislation. 6
