Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 15, 2010 Page 3 4. 5. for the November 29, 2010 meeting to make the best decision on behalf of the City and its residents. Mayor Klausing expressed concern that there appeared to be an undercurrent within the community, and perhaps on the City Council, that he or someone was trying to "pull something;" and expressed his personal resentment to those at- tempting to present that interpretation. Mayor Klausing expressed his sincere hope that citizens were cognizant of his attempts for fairness and ethics during his tenure on the City Council and as Mayor, and opined that he had no problem if constituents questioned his judgment, but expressed concern if they questioned his integrity. Mayor Klausing assured everyone that he had always attempted to share his rationale for decision making above board, and had no ulterior motives as were being inferred. Mayor Klausing noted that the date chosen appeared to be the best option available, as determined by he and City Manager Malinen, but ad- vised that he was open to other suggestions. Ms. Barsel opined that she would like to see this issue settled without contentious behavior on anyone's part; noting that it was of great economic and emotional concern to those residents and businesses in the immediate area of the proposed facility.
