Scott Spevak replied that if you use galvanized, as a sleeve and use PVC pipe inside,
it won’t rust out.
Rod Schmitt: What does it mean executive session for matters of commerce?
Mayor Anderson replied there are three reasons for going into executive session and that no executive session may be held for the purpose of taking any final action or making any final decision:
Matters of commerce are to conduct deliberations concerning labor negotiations or to acquire an interest in real property. To consider preliminary negotiations involving matters of trade or commerce in which the governing body is in competition with governing bodies and to consider records that are exempt from disclosure.
Employee: When hiring a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent. To consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee or staff member.
Litigation: To consider and advise its legal representatives in pending litigation or where there is a general public awareness of probable litigation.
Mayor Anderson reminded everyone that the Council Meeting for December 26, 2007 is cancelled.
