PRESENTATIONS FROM THE GALLERY
Mr. Frank Rycyk made a presentation in support of pending Bill 2006 -83, pertaining to
declaring English as the official language. He stated he believes the city needs to make
English the official language to avoid the complexity currently being faced by cities which
have not done so, including being required to pay for translators. He stated some of those
costs can be very high and would have to be paid for by tax dollars.
Mr. Dale Siebeneck, 2908 Wakoda Drive, made a presentation regarding the awarding of
a contract for auditing services. He stated that his company submitted a proposal based on
the RFP which was distributed to all interested auditing firms. He stated that if the city had

was not stated in the RFP. He introduced several other members of his auditing firm which
were present at the meeting.
Mr. Dan Nichols, 903 Oakwood Drive, made a presentation in opposition to Bill 2006 -83
pertaining to declaring English as the official language. He gave several examples of the
use of non - English language in city documents and on posted city signs. He stated that, in
his opinion, these would be in violation of an English -only policy. He stated that the use of
sign language would also be violating such a policy.
COUNCIL COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO PRESENTATIONS FROM THE GALLERY
Councilman Michael Berry made comments regarding Mr. Siebeneck's presentation. He
stated he did not have any problems with the current auditing firm, nor had he heard of any
such problems, but that his position was simply based on his belief that it would be a good
idea to get a fresh look at things.
