DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS Items were not necessarily discussed in order that they appeared on the agenda. Bill 2004 -58 - Councilman Bob Weber stated this will be placed on the Informal Calendar until one more Finance Committee meeting is held to finalize the budget. Resolution RS2004 -7 Councilman Roy Viessman requested that the agenda be amended to include this resolution which was distributed at the beginning of today's meeting. He stated that Councilman Brian Crane has asked to be added on the resolution as a co- sponsor. There were no objections to the addition of this item to the agenda. New Business Mayor John Landwehr referred to a letter written by Councilman Michael Berry. He stated Ms. Glenda Frey of the Parks and Recreation Commission is requesting on behalf of the Commission that the Council withdraw the use tax issue recently placed on the November 2004 ballot and instead consider rolling back the property tax levy and submit a parks sales tax issue on the April 2005 ballot instead. Mayor John Landwehr asked that Bill 2004 -70 be added to the agenda which would authorize the City Counselor to take necessary legal steps to remove the use tax issue from the ballot on the September 8 deadline. He indicated that to do so would require that the Council suspend the rules and vote on the bill at Tuesday night's meeting (Sept. 7). There were no objections to the addition to the agenda, and Mayor John Landwehr stated that the distribution of the bill to the Council and media at today's meeting will constitute one reading of that bill for purposes of passing it Tuesday night. COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 2, 2004 No official actions were taken since this was a work session only. The meeting adjourned at 12:18 P.M.
