Common Council Minutes Page 3
June 26, 2001
Redistricting Map proposals were reviewed. Although a couple aldermen preferred
different maps, it was determined that Alternative E should be tweaked if possible to
bring the percent deviation closer to the 2% goal, and if the county will accept more
deviation, to bring a resolution forward to the next Council for adoption with the map and
legal descriptions.
Petfalski reported at the last Committee of the Whole meeting representatives of the
Citizens Power group were told that the Mayor and aldermen were still interested in
meeting with the group, and Mr. Golubski offered to set up the meeting. Since that time
the president, Kurt Barikmo has indicated he is not available at this time and wanted to
discuss with their attorney if it is in their best interest to meet with the City now.
Petfalski can be contacted for any updates.
Slocomb discussed the Council’s goal of city departments transferring documents to the
City’s website. Transition from the I.S. Dept. is in progress. He prefers PDF format as it
prints the same from any computer, but still need full HTML file as well for searching.
He recommended Municipal Code be transferred to PDF format in full chapter
configuration, rather than existing section style. Clerk indicated as soon as software
and training are available to her department the process will start.
Wichgers moved to adjourn at 10:35 PM. Slocomb seconded; motion carried.
