The Building Commissioner and City Engineer are asked to attend. Mr. Gareau said he wanted to express his concern that Council's "informal poll" on the non-binding vote regarding street lighting could potentially be ignored. He would like to make that right. He would entertain Council's thoughts on scheduling a special meeting to appropriate money for designated streets. Mr. O'Grady said he thought that informal poll should be ignored by the administration. Mr. Gareau made a motion to establish a special Council meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 26, and directed that the Law Department draft legislation concerning the appropriation of $328,000 for the streets that were voted on by City Council at the Committee-of--the-Whole meeting. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Kasler. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Kasler, yes; McKay, yes; Limpert, no; Miller, yes; Nashar, yes; O'Grady, no, with comment that he could not attend that evening and would like it changed to another night. The motion passed with five affirmative votes and two negative votes. The special meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on October 26. With regard to Mr. Gareau's comments, Mayor Musial said he does not have the power to make a decision for the Board of Control. They will follow the regular course of administrative operation to have a Board of Control meeting and to bring the question and the issue before them with the pronouncement that Council has desired to follow this particular avenue. With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before Council, President Saringer adjourned the meeting at 9:35 p.m. ,~ /'i -c~~-a...." Barbara L.
