<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />Council President Robert O. Laven turned the Chair over to Councilman Wise in order to present
<br />the above resolution. Councilman Reinke stated that it was illegal to enter a resolution after
<br />the defeat of an ordinance. Councilman Craven and the other members of the Council stated that
<br />a resolution can be entered at any time. Chairman Wise called for questions from the audience
<br />regarding this ordinance. Councilman Janet Allen repeated what she said the previous night, the
<br />Council is in favor of a two -year contract for such utilities rather than a three -year contract
<br />because of the economy factor and prices did not vary from the first year to the second. Council
<br />President Laven made a motion for the adoption of this resolution, seconded by Councilman Allen.
<br />Motion for the adoption of this resolution was carried by a roll call vote. 5 ayes (Councilmen
<br />Laven, Allen, Craven, Wise and Palmer), Councilmen Reinke and Szymkowiak, 2 absent (Councilmen
