Councilman Limpert made a motion to suspend the rule requiring three readings as this was discussed in the Environmental Control Committee. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Hemann and passed unanimously. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane asked if 2016-60 is under suspension because it wasn't announced earlier during Caucus. Council President Jones said it was discussed during Caucus and announced at the start of the Council meeting. Lambert said he is concerned about this because Council just adopted Resolution 2016-59. He asked if the costs are going to come out of the sewer fund/storm water usage fund. Finance Director Copfer said no. He is concerned about hiring an outside consultant to do this study when you have a Certified Public Accountant on staff, the city's Finance Director. 8
