CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
Mayor Kulesza called the special meeting of the McCall City Council to order at 8:34 a.m.
Council Member Bailey, Council Member Briem, Council Member Kraemer, Mayor
Kulesza and Council Member Scott (via telephone) answered roll call. A quorum was
present.
Also present were Lindley Kirkpatrick, City Manager; Fred Quiel, Deputy City Manager /
Administrative Services, and Walter Eisenstein, Deputy City Manager / Infrastructure &
Community Development. City Attorneys present (via telephone) were Kim Trout, David
Krueck, Bill Nichols, Bill Hanlon, Eric Herringer, and Dean Torkleson.
Mayor Kulesza read the following statement: "Recent developments in the Wausau/St. Clair
lawsuit, including correspondence from the plaintiffs' attorneys regarding the conditions under
which they will agree to vacate the contempt of court hearing scheduled for March 6, 2008,
make it imperative that the City Council review and discuss this correspondence and determine if
the conditions demanded by Wausau and St. Clair are acceptable or whether the City will need to
file a Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Allowing the contempt motions to proceed to hearing on March 6.
2008 will likely lead to immediate financial loss. These latest developments occurred late
Tuesday such that there was insufficient time to schedule or notice a meeting sooner. The news
media was notified of the meeting as soon as it was scheduled."

carried.
