Finance Committee Minutes October 4. 2010
Member Partridge suggested removing Resolution No. 4644
from the Council agenda this evening to allow additional time
for Councilmembers to review and evaluate the information
presented. The additional time would provide
Councilmembers an opportunity to review their personal
circumstances and allow staff to complete a "score card"
(timecard) to record Council service activities.
It was consensus of the Committee to remove the
Resolution from the Council agenda this evening. Mayor
Lewis concurred and stated the score card would be
distributed to Councilmembers for comments. The score
card and Councilmembers' comments would be referred to
the Finance Committee for review.
