carefully monitor the City’s management and finances on behalf of the citizens. Mr. Kraft urged his colleagues to unanimously support the resolution. Mr. Price said Mr. Kraft did a great job in giving speeches. He said the audit was not free, it cost about $80,000, so they got paid. He said that we can’t even talk about what was in it and some of the auditors’ findings don’t match Mr. Kraft’s statements, when you see it. Mr. Price said he did not know what Mr. Kraft’s agenda was but when there is a vote, he probably has four people. He said he did not know if they talked about this in advance; he can’t say because he was not with them. Mr. Kraft called for a Point of Order, stating that’s accusing us of breaking the law. He said that was accusing four Councilmembers of a felony. Mr. Glickert also called for a Point of Order. Mr. Price said he did not see how you can vote for something that the Public has not seen and say thanks for a job well done and then make comments about.….you are probably only talking about your constituency base. Mr. Price said all of us have constituents and the ones he serves would like to know what is in it. Mayor Welsch stated that will be released to all constituents as soon as possible. Ms. Ricci noted she was not reading this the same way Mr. Price was. She stated that all it is simply saying is that the auditor came in, acknowledged the process was very important, the City can benefit from the recommendations and will follow the recommendations and thanked the 3200 citizens that signed the petition for their effort to invite the auditor in and had nothing to do with recommendations or results. Mr. Kraft asked Ms. Pumm to read the resolution for the record, so there would be no confusion as to what was being voted on, which was done and is attached to end of the minutes. Mr. Crow said for those at the last Council meeting this may be the same song, second verse because it was on the agenda at the last Council meeting, however not all Councilmembers were in attendance at that meeting thus this was asked to be pulled from that agenda. Mr. Crow called for the Question. Mr. Price asked for a Roll Call AYES: Ms. Ricci, Mr. Kraft, Mr. Glickert, Mayor Welsch NAYS: Mr. Price, Mr. Crow and Mr. Sharpe Resolution 2011-2 passed by a majority. Mayor Welsch stated before they continued that members of Council do not make illusions to other members of Council. If there are questions or concerns about the way Councilmembers are acting or bringing items before the Council, please contact them prior to the Council meetings. 2.
