creating a regular standing Committee of the Whole meeting. He explained
that when the occasional fifth Monday of the month is available, it would
provide the Mayor and City Council the opportunity to address specific issues
of importance to the City that does not lend themselves to the agendas of
Municipal Services Minutes February 17, 2004
regular council meetings and standing committees. He further clarified for the
Committee that the Council would not take final action on any matters under
the Committee of the Whole unless the meeting is noticed as a special
meeting for such purpose under the requirements of Auburn City Code.
Vice Chair Wagner commented that he sees some of the advantages of
speeding up the process. However, he also has concerns over condensing
the decision making process which also could create less time for thought
processes or outside discussions.
Mayor Lewis clarified that this meeting is to review substantial issues that are
for information purposes, where there entire Council would hear the same
information at the same time such as budget discussions, initiatives, fire
district planning, etc. If there are no items to bring forth, the meeting will be
canceled in a timely manner.
City Attorney Heid will bring the Ordinance to the Committee's next meeting
for recommendation.

Christmas tree recycling that they did not indicate that Lea Hill residents
