Councilmembers concurred on the earlier meeting dates; and were asked to re- view their calendars for availability for a Saturday daytime or Monday evening meeting. After initial review of individual calendars, Councilmembers Pust, McGehee and Johnson expressed their preference for a Monday evening meeting; with Coun- cilmember Willmus expressing his openness to either. City Manager Malinen noted the open Monday evening dates of January 31, and February 7, 2011.
