ATTENDANCE The following Council Members were present when the meeting convened: Present: Angle, Berry (came in 12:10 PM), Groner, Klindt, Olsen (arrived 12:05 PM), Viessman, Vogel, and Weber Absent: Ferguson and Gordon A quorum was present. DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS Items were not necessarily discussed in order that they appeared on the agenda. Public Hearing: Councilman Clyde Angle asked someone from staff to be able to speak to the handout Councilman Groner distributed at the January 20 pre- meeting. Councilman Groner explained the reason he distributed the handout and stated his concerns. Councilman Groner had questions about the development. Mayor Landwehr stated there will be someone from staff who can answer these questions at Monday night's meeting at the appropriate time during the testimony period of the public hearing so everyone can hear it. Announcements of upcoming meetings and events: Mayor Landwehr will make a report on the status of the Fourth of July event. Mayor Landwehr stated he wanted to move the New Business item (scheduling a meeting of the Convention & Conference Center Committee) to the "Announcements of upcoming meetings and events" category. 2003 -165: Councilman Groner asked questions about the bidding process. COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 30, 2004 2003 -156: Council wants to take this up right after the public hearing dealing with this issue so the people present at the meeting won't have to stay for the entire meeting. Closed Session: Councilman Groner said he will have questions on this and does not believe it should be addressed in closed session because the bid has already been opened. City Administrator Rich Mays stated that he believed it could be a closed session issue, and stated his intent was not to discuss the bids in closed session but the city's strategy in disposing of the property. Both he and Mayor Landwehr said they would need to defer to legal council on the matter. No official actions were taken since this was a work session only. The meeting adjourned at 12:20 P.M.
