<br />City Council Special Meeting - 12/27/04 <br />Minutes - Page 2 <br /> <br />recommendations from the City Manager. <br /> <br />B. Amy Ihlan, City Councilmember <br />Councilmember Ihlan stated, for the record, her objection <br />to personal remarks at the December 20, 2004 regular <br />Council meeting by Councilmembers Maschka and <br />Schroeder; and later quoted in the Pioneer Press in their <br />publication of December 22, 2004. Councilmember Ihlan <br />opined that these personal remarks showed a lack of respect <br />for City Council proceedings, as well as her personally. <br />Councilmember Ihlan referred to the "meeting guidelines" <br />provided on each City Council Agenda, and requested that <br />Councilmembers follow those guidelines, as well as the <br />public. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing duly noted Councilmember Ihlan's <br />comments and encouraged all Councilmembers in the <br />future keep their comments within the scope of City <br />Council business. <br /> <br />Councilmember Maschka apologized for his comments at <br />the meeting in question, citing the lateness and length of <br />the meeting; acknowledging that his comments were out of <br />line, and assured Councilmember Ihlan that such comments <br />would not occur again. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schroeder did not apologize for his <br />comments, noting his continuing frustration due to the <br />repetitious nature of Councilmember Ihlan's comments. <br />Councilmember Schroeder encouraged Councilmember <br />Ihlan to make her point, and allow the meeting to move <br />forward in a more timely fashion; and when appropriate to <br />e-mail or provide written comment to staff to allow them <br />time for review and information rather than taking up <br />meeting time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kough concurred with Councilmember <br />Ihlan's concerns; and encouraged professional conduct at <br />the bench. <br /> <br />C. Tam McGehee, 77 Mid Oaks Lane <br />
