REP©~tTS Mayor O'Grady: 1) Pleased to report the inaugural mayor's ball was a success and raised over $8,000 for charity. The proceeds will benefit the high school art program in their effort to create art work to be permanently displayed at the library and will also benefit the community through the food bank and other services provided by the Department of Community Life Services. Thanks to all city directors and those Council members who attended and to those who made donations. Special thanks to members of the committee who worked so diligently to organize this event. 2) With Council sustaining the line item veto of the correction officer in this year's budget, legislation is on the agenda to return those funds that were deleted from the Police budget. Police Chief Ruple is on record as stating that those cuts would have a "major effect" on the operations within his department. Council is asked to move quickly on returning those funds and on the other issues in the transfer ordinance. .,~,.,.F,r..w~.., ~.:.~~ ,,....
