Jen Jensen, 706 Pennsylvania Ms. Jensen summarized Prop K Committee's diligent work for three years. She read the letter that would be given to the Council and signed by the committee workers. Ms. Jensen left this letter and their meeting agendas minutes, and surveys with the City Clerk for anyone to review and she would pick it back up in one month. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel Ms. Glickert asked for some direction as to what is going to happen to the proposed bill on opening up the Heman Park pool to non-residents, as it was tabled again tonight. She inquired as to whether the Park Commission would be reviewing it again. Ms. Welsch requested that the City Manager convey to the Director of Parks Commission that some members on the Council wish the Park Commission would take a look at this issue again and come back to the Council with explanation behind their recommendations, who made these recommendations, who was in attendance and what was the vote. Ms. Welsch is not willing to hear this again until this happens. Also, Ms. Welsch said that as Mr. Wagner had requested, she would want the Parks Commission to have a Public Hearing for citizens input. Ms. Brot said that she would like the City Manager to do it as he is the one that can convey these requests to the City's staff. She also suggested that a good amount of publicity was needed to precede the Public Hearing. Mr. Wagner requested that the Public Hearing be posted on the kiosks at least one week prior to the Public Hearing date. Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave. Mr. Dockett requested from Council, recognition of his son, Kymo Dockett's literary achievement. Mr. Wagner motioned to have Kymo Dockett recognized by Council and was seconded by Ms. Welsch. Council unanimously accepted. Ms. Brot spoke briefly about her wonderful learning experience at the NLC Conference. Through one of the study sessions, she learned that it was important to follow the Capital Budget. Therefore, she requested from Mr. Ollendorff to prepare for the Council the Capital budget for the three major projects; the City Hall, the Fire Station and the Centennial Commons. She invited everyone to attend the grand opening of the Centennial Commons on Monday, January 1, 2006. Page 7
