Mayor Wilharber questioned whether additional discussion was needed regarding this item and consensus was that Council was satisfied with the presented language. Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Paar to approve the amended language for Chapter 90 relating to beekeeping as recommended by the Planning & Zoning Commission. City Attorney Glaser recommended the amended language should be as on page 62 and 63 of the packet for clarification purposes. Council Member Fehrenbacher accepted the friendly amendment to the motion on the floor ~ that Council adopt the ordinance amending City Code Chapter 90, as presented on Pages 62 & 63 of Council’s packet and allowing the presented Summary for publication to be published. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Council Pay Reduction. Mayor Wilharber stated that upon his request this item was again placed on Council’s agenda for discussion. Lengthy discussion was had as to differing ideas of Council pay reductions i.e. 10% for a year, no pay for a month, etc. Lengthy discussion was also had regarding the best options for that savings i.e. laptops/ipads for Council, decreasing City debt, etc. Consensus was that members did not desire to decrease the current pay for Mayor or Council Members for an extended period of time with the potential to hinder individuals in the future from running for office for monetary constrains placed on families that require daycare or missing other work to allow for serving their community. Motion by Mayor Wilharber, seconded by Council Member Paar to reduce Council pay by 10% and designate those monies for the purchase of laptops/ipads for Council. Additional discussion ensued and it was felt that additional information needed to be brought back to Council prior to making a decision. Mayor Wilharber withdrew his motion on the floor and requested that the item be placed on the March 9, 2011 Council agenda for cosideration.
