Public Facilities & Planning: David) Pyle said he was glad to see progress on technology upgrades for PD  Economic Development: Hollie LaVigne had nothing to report  UNFINISHED BUSINESS  David Pyle said previously when the MOU between the school district and the city was discussed, he was advised to recuse himself from discussion and the vote, and he disagreed with that advice. He said he should not have recused himself because there is nothing in the city code that would prohibit him from being involved. David said it says in the ethics ordinance that "if an elected official has information germane to the discussion" they should be involved in the discussion. Hes said this item has been on the agenda twice and the decision was made not to discuss it. David Pyle thinks the ordinance should be on the agenda and discussed fully and LaDonna Allen said she wanted to discuss and decide what the city wanted last time so it could go to the other party involved and they could vote on it, and that she thought it was tabled tonight because we were waiting for the other party. David Pyles saidi ift the council voted on the ordinance there would be a definitive position from the city. Rick Flinn asked if wel heard back from the school. Steve Lawver said Dr. Cook spoke with him today because the school board meeting was last night. Dr. Cook told Steve the school board didn't talk about the MOU, they talked about the funding mechanism within the MOU, and his indication from thes school board was they would go with two of their own employees and not use a police officer at all. Steve Lawver said SROs are commissioned officers just like ours, so there will still be qualified people in that position, regardless oft their employer. David Pyle said he believes there'sn moret tot this than money andi it would be beneficial to consider the ordinance and vote oni it. Mayor Powers directed the ordinance to the placed on the agenda for the meeting on December 3rd. Rick Flinn clarified with Steve Lawver that Dr. Cook said the school would! hiret their own employees rather than paying the city more and Steves said that was as simplistic version buti in his opinion is correct. Stevel Lawver said a discussion was necessary about services provided to Airport Drive. He said we received a letter from the Airport Drive attorney asking the city to give them enough time to find someone else toj perform the jobs the city currently performs for them. Steve Lawver said we would bej providing the services until they are able to find someone. He said the only service dropped was leaf pickup. There was discussion about giving Airport Drive a deadline to find people tol handle the services for them, versus looking at raising fees for the city to provide the services. David Pyle asked what the services are, and Steve Lawver said it is lift station maintenance, building inspections, sewer tapi inspections, and line locates. Mike Talley asked if any of thes sewer services are services wep provide toj protect our own sewer system and Steve Lawver and Harvey Kitzberger said no because they willl be required to do their own testing. There was a consensus among the council to give Airport Drive until April 301 to find other parties to do the services for Chief McCall said the current SROS need to be considered when discussing the MOU with the school district.
