<br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Councilmember Powers stated for the record "I have total faith in our police department. They <br />have been nothing but incredibly wonderful, respectful, courteous, kind and efficient. I think they <br />are a talented group of men and women. I have a very large problem with the City of Centerville <br />paying 25% of the budget for 1999, while the City of Lexington only pays 26% of the budget for <br />1999. I also think that it is unfair to the City of Circle Pines who is carrying a big bunch of the <br />burden.

Councilmember Brenner seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Nyberg questioned the Council why the change in Engineers? <br /> <br />Councilmember Powers explained that a year ago she had requested a review of all of our <br />consulting firms, which included HR. Green. It can't be monitored if it is not reviewed. It had <br />nothing to do with Mr. Nyberg, personally. Councilmember Brenner stated it was a very drawn- <br />out process consisting of many meetings, and it was very time consuming and covered many <br />areas. Mr. Nyberg requested the Council member workshop notes and how the Council point <br />system supported the change in engineering firms. <br /> <br />Councilmember Helmbrecht asked Attorney James Hoeft if there were any legal issues. Does the <br />City have to produce the notes from the workshop session regarding the engineering firm search? <br />Mr. Hoeft stated, "Yes the workshop notes legally have to be made available." <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber called for the vote.
