anticipation of the State of the City address. He will be talking with all city departments about the
financial situation that the City is in and the goals that we have moving forward. Council members will
be invited to attend these meetings, if they desire.
City Manager Getschow stated that Representative Simon and Senator Latz will be at the next Council
work session. A draft legislative agenda will be provided. Council can certainly provide feedback on
that agenda and more items may be placed on that agenda before it is finalized.
City Manager Getschow stated that the Hopkins Business and Civic Association annual meeting is to
take place on February 12th. Council members are encouraged to let Getschow know if they wish to
attend.
With no further business, a motion was made by Youakim, seconded by Halverson to adjourn the meeting. The
motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 pm.
