Council Minutes of 2-18-2020 <br />Mr. Mahoney said he wanted to start with a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, which <br />was "sunshine is the best disinfectant." He proceeded to ask if he could address <br />Councilman Limpert. <br />Council President Jones told Mr. Mahoney he may address all of Council. <br />Mr. Mahoney asked several questions about Mr. Limpert about where he worked and if <br />he nominated someone to the Charter Review Commission that also worked at the same <br />place he did. Mr. Limpert answered those questions saying yes. <br />Mr. Mahoney asked if Mr. Limpert wanted to read the person's title or if he would like <br />him to. <br />Council President Jones said this isn't an appropriate place to cross examine <br />Councilmembers. <br />Mr. Mahoney said there appears to be a conflict of interest with both Mr. Limpert and his <br />nominee working at the same location. He said he was wondering about the ethics of it. <br />Mr. Limpert said just because someone works at a large corporation along with someone <br />else, does not raise an ethical concern about a local resident's willingness to serve on a <br />volunteer board. <br />Mr. Mahoney asked if this person was a boss or had a lot of interaction with Mr. Limpert. <br />Council President Jones said if there is something you'd like to bring to Council you have <br />about three more minutes, but this isn't an appropriate place to cross-examine someone. <br />Mr. Limpert said he would like to answer it. He said the answer is no. He said he would <br />be happy to discuss with him his ethics of wanting to support a resident of the City who <br />wants to volunteer. Mr. Limpert said he is very comfortable it's not a conflict of interest, <br />but he would be happy to talk with him afterwards. <br />LEGISLATION <br />Resolution 2020-17 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading. A <br />Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Enterprise to lease five <br />(5) vehicles, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to <br />execute contracts, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Kelly moved for adoption. <br />The motion was seconded by Councilman Glassburn and passed unanimously. <br />Roll Call: <br />Yes: Kelly, Glassburn, Hemann, Limpert, Williamson <br />No: None <br />Motion carried. Resolution 2020-17 adopted 5-0. <br />31 <br />
