MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
AT CONCLUSION OF THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 4, 2003
Mayor Maxwell called the meeting to order at 9:20 pm at the conclusion of the regular City
Council meeting on February 4, 2003 at City Hall. Council members present were Mayor Maxwell
and Council members Brausen, Jensen, Johnson and Rowan. City personnel present was City
Manager Mielke and Public Works Director Steve Stadler.
Reduce the Use
Council member Johnson suggested a letter of congratulations be sent to Sharon MacDonald
and the members of the Reduce the Use effort. Mielke indicated such a letter would be drafted.
Snow Emergency
Council member Johnson asked how many vehicles were towed during the last snowfall.
Public Works Director Stadler indicated that there were no vehicles towed because a snow emergency
was not called. The conditions of this particular snowfall, while over 2 inches, did not lend well to
our current policy since it stopped snowing after 10 pm and weather would not allow us to wait a full
day to call the snow emergency.
Council Absences
Council member Brausen informed the Council that he would be gone the last week of
February.
Mayor Maxwell informed the Council that he would be gone the week of February 10.
State of the City
City Manager Steve Mielke suggested that the State of the City agenda changed slightly to
have Council member Jensen discuss the design overlay district for the downtown, rather than
discussing the city's infrastructure. There was consensus that this was a good idea.
There being no further business, Council member Brausen moved to adjourn, seconded by
Council member Jensen. Motion passed unanimously; the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 pm.
