RESOLUTION 91-06-01 A resolution adding two councilmember positions to the present council Councilmember McKee said the issue had been discussed before; there were now four times the number of registered voters in the city; our greatest asset is our people source and they should be given a chance to have a voice in government. Mayor McGraw said the city population was about 1300 short of five thousand. When that happened, the city would be mandated to go to a seven member council and now might be the time to increase the total number. He said adding two members now would give them the opportunity of being elected by the people instead of being appointed. Councilmember Hendricks said he would vote against the recommendation as he felt it was difficult enough now to find interested parties to run for council with five members. - 2 - •algpxloM Ajan paxool AlTo aql Aq pallTwgns sueld aql PTPs aH ' '000'SOTS aq pTnoM 'panoidde ;T 'lupsb agy •saoinosaH T?Jn1pN ;o 1uaw13pdap aq1 wos; lupjb ygZy aq1 aq pTnoM sTgy 'slTwTT A1TO aql uTglTM sluTodnaTn pup TTp31 aql ;o uoTlenuTquoo io; saOTnJas sTagl sa;;O PTnoM hlunoo aq1 legl TTounoo aq1 pasTnpe iaxzEe 'JH '0-S 'PaT.T3eo uoTlow aqy •upld aql buTuTTlno TTounoo o1 zallaT p 1Twgns 01 jax.zEs •sH palsanbaz pup loaloid TTEsI ag1 PJPmOI 000'STS aleOOTTe of isanbai aql panoidde TTounoO :uoTgoy TTounoo •auop xioM sp palpuop JO puTx uT aq pTnoa lunowp agl 40 '3JLd pup buOTe TTe op 0-4buThzl uaaq aApq am IEgM lzoddns of lueliodwT sT IT PTes TasseO aagwawTTounoO •seat. lxau jo; pala6pnq aq pTnoM goTgM 10001STS ;o lunowe up palsanbaa pup lsoddns s,TTounoo paxsE ,taxies '=H '000'OSTS 'uOT';TTeOO iTe-Ty aql 1000100TS aq pTnoM lunowe hlunoO seTbno4 a741 '000'SOTS lueab HNQ aql 1000100£S aq pTnoM lunowE 1ueib 06'I aqy '000'TLLS ST 1oaloid aql ;o lsoo palEwTlsa agy -sao.znosaH TvinleN ;o luawlzEdap aql 01 auo pue OyI 01 auo 'pallTwgns uaaq peq suoileoTTddp lupa6 oMl pTes aH '(OHI) uoTlpazaaH joopino uo aallTMMOD Aouabesalul 9g1 wo.z; anTleluasaida.x p pup JOAP w aql g1TM law peq ag 'aTnpagos uo 6uTpaaooid seM ssaooid aq-1 pTes zax.zpg 'zH •3anTJ agl ;O apTs aag0lpuaM ,sea aq1 uo walsAS TTpjj aql ;o snlels aql buTpaebai TTounoo of axods iaNjes MTf JOIDaJI(I sxioM oTTgnd luelsTssy I.lunoO seTbnoQ SINHHH00 KHZISI0 (sbuTTT00 '=ng1=FIOH 'sxOT=PuaH) '£-Z 'PaTTe; uOTlow aqy •TToanoo A1TO 9141 of szagwaw oMl buTppE uoTlnTosaa ag1 anozdde of TasseO jagwawTTaunoO Aq puooas 'aaxoH iagwawTTounoO Aq appw seM uoTlow y °uOTIDV TTOunOD •uoTID91@ 1sET aql aauTs 00bT 01 OS£ wo.z; paseaJDUT peq szalon paialsTbaz ;o jagwnu aq1 pappe aH *Ajpssaaau SLIM aTdoad aq1 ;o uoTleluasa.Tdai jadoid 1Ta; puE aoT;3o jo; uTebE buTuunz aq 1ou pTnoM osTE aq pTes aaxoH jagwawTTounoO buoam pawaas buimiq aql 1pgl paalbp inggjvoH iagwawTTounoo 'a1ep buTTT; agl 01 asoTO os 'Mou ;o pEalsuT zeaA agl UT .tail -Tea paluasaad uaaq aneg pTnoo sTgl 11a; aqs pTes ags pup !Moux pTnoM aTdoad ag1 'palepuew seM asPRJOuT agl uagM pTes agS 'buo.TM sEM 6uTwTl agl 1nq 'auo pooh a seM eapT agl pTes sbuTTTOO .zagwawTTounoO 'uTEbe buTuunj uo uETd 1ou pTp aq lagwawTTounoo a sE s.zeah auTU Ja1;e pappe TasseO •aH •suoiloun; TTounoo luaza;;Tp aql UT elPgs pTnoa sjagwaw Mau pup 'suoTsTOap sallaq axew spEaq aiow aouTs Aj8WTl aq pTnoM IT PaaJbP aq ianaMoq 'uoTsToap aql g1TM awT1 ITnOT;;TP e peq aq PTes TasseO iagwawTTounoO I Councilmember McKee said if the city and the county do the project as a joint effort, it gave higher points for a grant application.
