Session 1935 September 27, 2004 that scheduling will remain the City's responsibility and "showing" the facility will be the renter's role. Ms. Brot asked if the lease should contain the words "draft" to avoid misunderstanding and was advised that it probably is not a problem, because the City Attorney needs to make if official. Mr. Sharpe asked if approval this evening was to "approve the concept" and was advised that it was. The motion passed unanimously. Consent Calendar Item # 11 - 2005 City Council Meetinq Schedule Mr. Ollendorff advised the reason approval is needed now is so that dates may be printed on the City Calendar soon. Ms. Brot expressed her opinion that three budget meetings would be preferable to the current two meetings, because it is difficult to focus attention for such a long time. Mr. Ollendorff said in the past three meetings were held, then the three meetings were changed to two meetings, because it turned out that the business was generally conducted in the two meetings and the third turned out to be unnecessary. Mr. Ollendorff suggested scheduling a third meeting in addition to the current two if the Council deems it necessary, just so long as the meeting is posted 24 hours prior to the actual meeting to meet the requirements of the Sunshine Law. She also asked about the irregularity of meeting dates and asked why they are not held every two weeks? Mr. Ollendorff said they are set to accommodate national and religious holidays and attendance at important conferences. Generally speaking, 18 meetings are held during a period of 52 weeks. This leaves openings for study sessions which are never scheduled in advance. With all these additional meetings, the Council meets on average about 26 times a year. Mr. Sharpe moved adoption and Ms. Welsch seconded, which passed unanimously. Resolution - Waldron and Wellinqton Intersection Improvement Ms. Welsch moved to introduce the resolution and Mr. Sharpe seconded. Mayor Adams said this sets up a neighborhood improvement district in the 1200 and 1300 blocks of Waldron. It was requested and approved by the residents. The resolution passed unanimously. COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Rosalyn Borg, 7820 Cornell Avenue, spoke about the problem of over-grown trees which grow into electrical and telephone wires and onto roofs of houses and garages and how she would like the City to do something about this problem by providing tree trimming as a City service, just as leaves are collected for citizens. She would like the Forestry Department to investigate this service. As for trees planted by the City along Page 13
