CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - April 7, 1976 <br />ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALEB+CAR FOR SEPA:UITE CGl=Iulu•=P•AT1DN: <br />2. Approval of Warrants: $388,412.24: <br />Councilman Brown requested the following to be read into the record: "I <br />request Warrant #1071 be removed from the Warrant List. This warrant, for <br />$100.00, covers vehicle expense for myself during the Month of March. I <br />feel that I did not earn this money and therefore, in all consciousness, <br />cannot accept it. I campaigned on the platform of economy in government, and <br />so, rather than accept a flat monthly stipend, I will submit an itemized <br />expense account. <br />"The City Attorney indicates that compensation for Council may be initiated <br />either by a vote of the electorate, or through Council action by Ordinance. <br />This subject arises periodically, and I think the matter should be resolved <br />as early as possible. I believe the question should be put to a vote by the <br />people. I will abide by the will of the residents in our Town." <br />Council discussion ensued, and City Attorney Frank Gillio explained th_t <br />Council, if they desired, could bring the issue before the people either by <br />a Special Election, a Consolidated Election, or wait until the next General <br />Municipal Election. <br />Councilman Proft called for a point of order since the issue before Council <br />was the approval of warrants. Council agreed that this matter should be <br />ov brought up under "New Business" later in the Agenda for discussion at that <br />time. <br />MOTION, SECONDED, AND CARRIED: Councilman Grabowski moved, seconded by Councilman <br />Brown and unanimously carried to approve the Warrant List as amended (above). <br />C.
