City of 104.4SEVII I JJE Minnesota,USA Regular City Council Meeting Minutes City Hall Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive Monday, January 12, 2015 1. Roll Call Mayor Roe called the meeting to order at approximately 6:00 p.m. Voting and Seating Order: McGehee, Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, and Roe. City Manager Patrick Trudgeon and City Attorney Mark Gaughan were also present. Mayor Roe noted that Councilmember Etten had previously indicated that he had a scheduling conflict and would be unavailable for tonight's meeting. 2. Pledge of Allegiance 3. Approve Agenda Councilmember Laliberte requested the addition of two additional items to tonight's agenda: Reconsideration of Item 13.c from the January 5, 2015 meeting regarding the City Council/staff retreat; and a staff update on the upcoming Twin Lakes Planning Meeting. Mayor Roe suggested the staff update on the Twin Lakes Planning meeting be addressed during tonight's "Council Communications, Reports and Announcements" section. Laliberte moved, Willmus seconded, reconsideration of the City Council/staff retreat from the January 5, 2015 meeting. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Councilmember Laliberte explained her ra- tionale in requesting reconsideration of this item due to her perception of some confusion during the vote and whether that vote was specific to the original motion, the amendment to that motion, or an amended motion. Councilmember Laliberte suggested some of that confusion seemed to be regarding the actual dollar amount authorized. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she also had remaining concerns regarding the actual scope and cost, and since she had voted in the affirmative, sought input from her colleagues as to whether they also felt more discussion was needed. Mayor Roe stated that he would vote against the motion to reconsider, as he considered the record indicating clarification of the amendment and original motion on January 5, 2015 duly reflected the intent and subsequent action. As a supporter of the motion, Mayor Roe opined that he had no concern regarding the costs outlined, nor any need for reconsideration. Councilmember Laliberte advised that part of her intent in reopening discussion was to consider going out for bid on a facilitator.
