<br />City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 22, 2003 <br />Mayor Sweeney indicated he would like to have a meeting with Staff and spouses to get <br />to know one another as well as discuss issues and ideas the Staff may have. He then <br />suggested the meeting be a dinner out on a Friday or Saturday evening. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that Staff and Council would need to pay for their own <br />meals. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the meeting would need to be posted but said <br />the City could pay for meals as it is a meeting. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra suggested a Friday evening potluck in Council chambers. Mayor <br />Sweeney indicated he would rather not meet at the City buildings as it would be a much <br />more relaxing atmosphere at a restaurant. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would rather have something in Council chambers <br />even if it was catered in pizza or something as she thinks it would be costly to the City to <br />be having dinner at a hall and she thinks the same thing can be accomplished at City Hall. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee commented that if Council is asking Staff to come in on their time <br />it should be a nice place. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney indicated that the Blacksmith has a banquet room that the Lions use. <br />Council Member Capra indicated that Matthews has the ability to section off an area. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she has concerns with taking the meeting outside of the <br />context of Council Chambers and would prefer a work session with Staff at City Hall <br />with catered in food. <br /> <br />Council asked Staff to provide information and costs for various locations for discussion <br />at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that she has concerns with the City paying for Council <br />and staff meals.
