Persons in attendance included Council Members Luecke, Puzzello, Coleman, Washington, Kelly, Slavinskas Zakrzewski, Duda and Ladewski; Brian Hedman, Liz Rowell, John Leszczynski, Ernest Szarwark, Jon Hunt, Jeff Rinard, Kevin Horton, John Stancati,Don Porter, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. Mr. Horton noted that Brian Hedman of Century Center is requesting that the Century Center budget not be acted upon at this evening meeting. Me. Hedman requested that it be postponed until December to allow the Century Center Board of Managers to meet on the administrative cost line item as well as the personnel items. Council Member Puzzello stated that she would not be willing to adjust any salaries at this time. Council Member Ladewski also stated that he would not be willing to adjust salaries and would be against an 8% request in salaries as requested by the Board of Century Center Managers. Mr. Horton noted that at this point he would be agreeable to having the administrative fee being phased in over a three year period. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 94-92 which would appropriate monies for the purpose of defraying expenses from designated enterprise funds. It was noted that Section II does not include the Century Center cost center. Council Member Puzzello noted that there is currently a two-fold issue, namely the administrative fee and the salary increases. Council Member Puzzello made a motion that Bill No. 94-92 be sent to Council without recommendation. The motion did not receive a second and therefore failed. Council Member Zakrzewski made a motion, seconded by Council Member Slavinskas, to delete the Century Center from the Bill and have it continued until the meeting of December 14, 1992. The motion passed. Council Member Luecke noted that if the full Council would act favorably on this request that it would be doing so as a courtesy to the Century Center Board of Managers, however the Council would be reviewing the administrative fee portion only. He hoped that the communication problems between the City Administration and the Century Center Board of Managers could also be healed during this extended period of time. Council Member Ladewski questioned Mr. Hedman as to when the next Century Center Board meeting would be. Mr. Hedman was uncertain but stated that they would meet within the next two weeks.
