Merchandise and to extend the 48 hour limited truck and trailer parking. Council Member Edwards
commented that this item needs to be passed "as is" and revisions could be taken care of later.
Council Member Cisewski noted that ordinances should not be revised on a case by case basis, but
need to set the standard for that commercial district. City Planner Pearson suggested adding 4.h.
from C -2 to C -3 and C -4 districts. City Attorney LeFevere noted that a super majority on zoning
issues was no longer required due to last years legislative change and that three votes would carry a
motion. Edwards requested this item be discussed further at a work session.

Public Works Director Interviews
Human Resource Coordinator Graff reported that the national search for a Public Works Director
had produced two very good candidates. Graff asked if Council would re- consider travel expenses
for those coming for interviews. Neighboring cities have offered this to interested interviewees and it
is very common in business.
It was Council consensus to continue with the interview process as established, with interviews on
September 8, 2001 without the benefit of travel expenses. Any negotiations with a specific candidate
should be after the interviews.
Mayor Busho adjourned the meeting at 8:27 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Jentink, City Clerk
