Applicants will be contacted regarding interviews. • Due to the special election in Ward 3 on Tuesday, December 4, the Council meeting will be held on Monday, December 3, at 8 o'clock. Councilman Dailey commented regarding the Council-as-a-Whole meeting held on November 14 that, while he did find the mceting informative, he did not hear anything that night that would have lead him to advise the administration of anything at this point. He agrees with Mr. O'Grady with not wanting to have had his name on the letter, but does not recall any conversation advising that Council was going to take any such action either. President Saringer said a decision was made that, in order to follow up with the meeting, Council was going to send a memo to the Mayor asking for some action. That was the purpose of the meeting, to get things started. Councilwoman Kasler said she specifically requested personally that Council follow up with a recommendation to the administration that they consider the issue, and she asked for any objections to that question. Councilman Miller said, in light of the concerns presented earlier this evening by Mr. Jenkins, he thinks Council has an obligation to ask the question again as to the finances and the ability to repay at Springvale. Therefore, he is calling a Recreation Committee to discuss that issue and other issues at 6 o'clock on Thursday, November 29. Finance 10 I it
