The applicants all met the inspection requirements of the SBPD; SBFD; Water Works, Code Enforcement, and Building Department. They were sent to the Council with a favorable recommendation for approval. Chairperson LaFountain opened the meeting noting a quorum was no present so no action could be taken by the Committee. City Clerk John Voorde made a brief presentation indicating compliance with the application process, thus requesting issuance and approval. No questions, no action taken. Bill No. 09-39 -Appoints an agent to represent the Council for 2009 Police and Fire Negotiations. This resolution would appoint Kathy Cekanski-Farrand, Council Attorney, as negotiating representative for Police & Fire '09 contracts. Chairman LaFountain began the meeting by recognizing Councilmember White who asked for a continuance in that the usual practice of having a preliminary session with the Council to get information, establish a team, and set parameters had been overlooked. President Dieter apologized for the oversight, said he had no problem with a continuance and suggested scheduling an executive session prior to the next meeting on June 8 to discuss all of the above. After brief discussion the Council informally agreed. With no other business before the Committee, Chairperson LaFountain adjourned at 4:08 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, ~(~/~~(/~ ~ L~r~^ Thoma/ss LaFountain, Chairperson Personnel and Finance Committee
