He felt that it was about time that the architectural firm that was to be <br />managing the project was finally trying to get it to some schedule, since it presently is so far <br />off schedule now. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />Ed McCarthy, <br />Mr. McCarthy asked if the process of producing the City's financials could be speeded up as <br />it was about six months after the date. Secondly, Mr. McCarthy was going to push harder on <br />the sewer lateral program. He is questioning the use of money for an overhead factor or a <br />City employee factor built in the $50 a resident is charged. He wants this money put back <br />with interest. If he continues to get no response, he will sue the City. Thirdly, Mr. McCarthy <br />thought the employee retention plan that Council would think about approving, is an insult to <br />all. If a City employee was doing his job, they would have no fear of being retained. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />
