City of Auburn Council Meetinq Minutes December 4, 1995
meeting of November 20, 1995. Councilmember
Burns stated he believes the City owes a debt of
gratitude to the efforts Judge Bonjorni made in setting
up and operating the municipal court under trying
circumstances. He stated Judge Bonjorni set the
highest professional and ethical standards for the
court. Councilmember Burns distributed copies of a
letter to the editor which appeared in the Valley Daily
News to be made part of the record. He reflected that
had joined three other Councilmembers in voting not
to confirm the Mayor's appointment on November 20,
1995, and hoped the vote was not perceived as a
vote against Mayor Booth or Judge Cayce but as a
vote for Judge Bonjorni. He added that he wished the
issue before the Council was whether to confirm
Judge Bonjorni for the next two years. He stated the
only choices before the City Council are whether the
municipal court is administered by a group of pro tem
judges or by Judge Cayce, and Judge Cayce is the
preferable choice. Councilmember Kurle seconded
the motion.
Councilmember Barber stated she believes the City
Council honors Judge Bonjorni and is hopeful the
Council can resolve the issue in the best interest of
the City and the court.
Mayor Booth stated a statement appeared in a recent
newspaper article which indicated he had some kind
of special information about Judge Bonjorni. Mayor
Booth stated the comment derived from a statement
he made that he will not make any kind of negative
statements about a person whom he admires and
recognizes as a very honest and sensitive person.
Councilmember Haugen thanked Councilmember
Burns for his comments, and stated she wished this
issue had not become a media issue.

an honorable, ethical, and sensitive person; and has
nothing more to say to the issue. Mayor Booth stated

qualification that an interlocal agreement is entered

City's strategy for housing and community development, and
is essentially the City's application for federal Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) funds. The Plan guides the City
in its consideration and appropriation of Community
Development Block Grant Funds. The strategies contained
in the Plan provide a basis for monitoring and assessing the
City's performance relative to housing and community
development. Prior to the City publishing any amendments
to the Plan, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development requires that a public hearing be held on the
Plan to solicit comments, ideas, and concerns regarding the
Plan to ensure that citizen participation is an element in the
development of the amendments to the Plan. The proposed
amendments will be published mid-December 1995, and the
amendments will be presented to the Planning and
Community Development Committee on January 8, 1996.
The City Council will be asked to conduct another hearing
on January 16, 1996, followed by the City Council's
consideration and adoption of the amendments. The Plan
must be submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development by February 15, 1996. Associate Planner
Mandeville stated all comments, concerns and ideas will be
considered during the development of the proposed
amendments to the Plan.
