CITY OFFICIALS REPORTS
The Clerk stated a public hearing was scheduled for 4/10/01 at 7:25 p.m. to consider
petition of the Tess Corners Vol. Fire Dept. to rezone property in the SE ¼ of Section
25 from RSE and A to RSE/OIP and A/OIP.
A draft of the April calendar was reviewed. Slocomb requested that the Tuesday
Finance Committee meetings be held in the Muskego Room instead of the Aldermen’s
Room. Potential problems were discussed that could cause disruptions, such as
people entering the room to attend a public hearing or the Council meeting. Slocomb
stated the meetings have been short and we did not experience any problems with this
arrangement at the library. The Finance Committee meeting could be scheduled for
the Aldermen’s Room if a large crowd was anticipated to attend a public hearing.
Petfalski moved to adjourn at 9:47 p.m. Slocomb seconded; motion carried.
Minutes taken and transcribed by J. Blenski.
Respectfully submitted,
