Other Business:

 

Item A: Committee Meeting Location:  Director of Finance addressed the issue of relocating the committee meetings.  She then turned the discussion over to Police Chief Eric Van Hook who presented various reasons for the recommendation of moving the meetings out of the Mayor’s conference room at City Hall.  Among the reasons were the security aspect and the hospitality/accommodations for the residents and guests.   Chief explained that the Community room at the Public Safety Facility would be a good location and would provide the security and accommodations required.  He commented that the community room could even be divided to accommodate two meetings, so should one of the meetings run long, the next meeting could be started.  Necessary equipment would also be available such as AV equipment and copier.  Director of Finance commented that the Warrant meetings would still be held in the Mayor’s conference room prior to the Council Meetings. Members of the Finance Committee as well as other Aldermen present supported the recommendation to move the location of the committee meetings to the Public Safety Building.  Staff will inform Aldermen of the effective date as well as post notices to inform the public of the change in location.
