<br />For the record Ms. Ricci wanted to make her position clear that she did not believe Mayor Adams <br />answer was proper and yielded to her colleagues to weigh in on it. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert stated that he found it fascinating that after thirty years Mayor Adams found an issue <br />with commissions. He stated that all of a sudden he came up with an issue that has not been an <br />issue in the past thirty years. Mr. Glickert stated to move forward with what is on the agenda. <br />There were appointments on the agenda and there are Councilmembers present who can deny or <br />approve the appointments. Then if you would like to get back to Mayor Adams’ issue, we can look <br />it then. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci stated that she did not see his email and the appropriate thing would have been to put it <br />on the agenda so it can be discussed possibly in a study session. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow stated he would like to move forward. He stated the Mayor has brought this to the <br />Council’s attention and we need to move forward with the appointments and the Council can <br />discuss the appointment issue later. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams moved forward with the appointments. <br />1. <br />William Field was nominated by Mr. Glickert to the Parks Commission, seconded by Mr. <br />Wagner and was approved unanimously. <br />2. <br />Gwendolyn Gaines Beckwith was nominated by Mr. Sharpe, Jr. to the Parks Commission, <br />seconded by Mr. Glickert and was approved unanimously. <br />3. <br />Mr. Wagner recommended reappointments of Linda Peoples, Karen Palmer, Karen Dille <br />and Caryn St. Clair to the Parks Commission, seconded by Mr. Sharpe and was approved <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />F.

She stated that within <br />the report, the auditor hired by the City, was an opinion letter included. Ms. Watson noted <br />that the delay in the report was due to training of new staff and implementation of the new <br />financial system, causing it to be later than the usual end of the year. She noted that there <br />are three parts to the presentation: the first being the Comprehensive Annual Financial <br />Report, the second the Report of Internal Control and the third some management <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Mr. Mike Williams of Hochschild, Bloom summarized the Comprehensive Annual Financial <br />Report.
