of the people who came here to talk and asked that their statements be attached to the minutes, but they are not really being attached to the minutes. She moved to amend to motion to accept the minutes and requested that the attachments be included with the minutes on the website and was seconded by Mr. Crow. Mr. Kraft stated that at this point in time, any discussion about how the minutes should be compiled was out of order. Voice vote on Dr. Carr’s motion to amend the motion to approve the minutes failed. Dr. Carr noted that together, Council’s packet and the attachments constituted approximately 100 pages. She stated that she would not approve any minutes that do not also include the attachments. Voice vote on the motion of Mr. Jennings to approve the minutes as written, carried by a majority, with a nay vote from Dr. Carr. Mayor Welsch reminded members of the audience that if they would like to speak to Council on agenda or non-agenda items they should fill out a Speaker Request form that can be found to the left of the door into the chamber. Speakers should indicate if they want to speak on an agenda or a non-agenda item, and note the agenda item number on the form. The completed form should be placed in the plastic trays in front of the City Clerk, and comments will be limited to five minutes. Council cannot discuss personnel matters, legal or real estate issues in public sessions. Questions raised at this meeting will not be immediately responded to by Council or the City Manager. However responses will be provided by an appropriate person as quickly as possible. Citizens who wish to make a comment may do so during either of the Citizen’s comment sections on the agenda or if they choose to speak on a specific agenda item they will be called to the podium at the proper time. It is Council’s intent to conduct their meetings in a manner that is at all times respectful to members of staff, the community and fellow City Councilmembers. Personal attacks on Councilmembers and staff will be ruled out of order. F. APPOINTMENTS 1. David Stokes nominated for appointment to CALOP by Mr. Kraft, replacing Eric Friedman, seconded by Mr. Crow and the motion carried unanimously. 2. Mary Pat Gallagher nominated for appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission by Mr. Kraft and was seconded by Mr. Jennings. Point of Order: Dr. Carr stated that several years ago an appointee was removed from a Board because Council had not been given 24 hours notice which violated the Sunshine Law. Therefore Mr. Kraft’s nomination for appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission should be handled in the same manner. Mr. Crow stated that while he thinks the world of Ms. Gallagher but agreed with Dr. Carr’s analysis and believed that there should be a certain level of consistency. Mayor Welsch stated that the preceding City Attorney, as well as the current City Attorney, both agreed that this is a tentative agenda and therefore can be amended the night of the meeting. She stated that her belief is that the person Dr. Carr was referring to was removed for an unrelated matter. Voice vote on Mr. Kraft’s motion carried unanimously. G.SWEARING IN 2
