Council Minutes of 9!18/2007 MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Councilman Tallon scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for Tuesday, September 25, at 7 p.m. for Ordinances 2007-106 and 2007-99. The Finance Director, Mayor and Directors affected by the transfers are asked to attend. Finance Director Copfer asked Mr. Tallon if the RFP ordinance for professional services was going to be considered. Councilman Tallon said he hadn't planned on discussing it at this committee meeting but would look into it. Councilman Ryan scheduled an Intra-Governmental Relations Committee meeting for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 25, to discuss Resolution 2007-108. The Law Director, Mayor, and Service Director are asked to attend. Councilman Miller scheduled an Environmental Control Committee meeting for 8 p.m., or immediately following the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee, to discuss the nuisance control ordinance. (Councilman Orlowski later noted the correct number of the legislation was Ordinance 2006-179.) The Law Director is asked to attend. Councilman Gareau scheduled a Building, Zoning & Development Committee meeting for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 9, to discuss a plan review for Mercedes/Porsche. The Planning Director is asked to attend. Councilman Gareau requested discussion on whether Mr. Ryan's unread comments would be made a part of the record, or whether it would be more appropriate to read them and make them part of the record. Councilman Ryan said his request was it be attached to the minutes as a communication. Law Director Dubelko said Council can do that. It's Council's wishes. A lengthy discussion ensued with Councilman Gareau expressing his feelings that the comments should be read to be made part of the minutes, and Councilman Ryan commenting, as a citizen of the community, he has submitted the comments to be attached to the minutes. Councilman Gareau objected to that and made a motion Council not include a piece of written correspondence in the record that has not been read into the record. The motion was seconded by Council Member Dailey Jones. Councilman Miller asked for a point of order, but President Kennedy ruled there was a motion and second on the floor to include a written piece of information that has not been read into the public minutes. Councilman Ryan asked for a point of order as that was a misstatement of the motion. The motion was to exclude his written communication. President Kennedy corrected his statement and said the motion was to exclude a written piece of information from Mr. Ryan. Councilman Miller called for a point of order and asked for advice from Law Director Dubelko. Law Director Dubelko reviewed the Rules of Council and said the only reference to written communications is in Rule 12 which indicates the Clerk of Council shall accept all correspondence including communications. It doesn't make reference as to whether or not those should become part of the minutes. He thinks it's Council's choice as to whether or not it wishes to make communications received by the Clerk of Council as part of the minutes. President Kennedy asked if there was a motion. Hearing none, he asked for further Miscellaneous Business. Councilman Ryan moved to adjourn, and the motion was seconded by Councilmen Miller. President 10
