<br />Mr. Roemer had had another engagement and could not attend the Council meeting and that he would
<br />answer any questions the Council members had. Councilman Kopczynski referred to the duties of
<br />William Stanley and the number of zoning and building code violations. He wondered how many cases

<br />for an answer. Councilman Kopczynski directed the City Clerk to write to Mr. Roemer concerning
<br />his question. Councilman Serge talked about enforcement of the "Harter Heights" ordinance which

<br />indicated that Mr. Stanley was preparing a procedure in that regard. Councilman Kopczynski
<br />wondered if Mr. Roemer and the entire staff were still on the payroll as funded by the Council,
<br />and Mr. Perry indicated that the department was functioning as budgeted.
