COUNCIL COMMENTS
Attorney Bernardoni will hold his newly elected seminar 1 hour before the May 12th meeting to go over topics for the newly elected council. New council will be seated at the May 12th meeting. With no one running for the 4-year term in Ward 3 currently held by T Propst the Mayor has 60 days to submit and appointment to fill that position for a 2-year term. Until that time Propst will still maintain that seat.
With no other comments:
*Motion by C Davison 2nd by P Rukes to adjourn the meeting @ 8:55 PM.
All council members present voted for the motion. (5)
