111 <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer referred to Item 5, Summary of Activities, and <br />stated that he believed that Councilmembers should report in <br />writing a summary of actions taken on the various committees <br />attended. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush explained that Council is required to take action on <br />General Plans, Specific Plans, Zoning Ordinances, etc. which come <br />to Council as a matter of course, as opposed to a matter which <br />might be appealed to Council such as use permit or variance. Mr. <br />Roush gave several examples of tie votes situations. <br /> <br /> Frank Brandes reiterated the definition of the "action taken" <br />should there be a 2-2 vote. He added that where Council is <br />required to take action, a 2-2 vote is considered a defeat, even if <br />the Planning Commission voted 5-0. <br /> <br /> There was general discussion on tie votes. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Scribner, that <br />Resolution No. 92-134 be adopted, approving the Council Operating <br />procedures with the following amendments: a) Ethics section be <br />included in the Conflict of Interest Code, b) Councilmembers are to <br />report in writing a summary of actions taken on the various <br />committees attended. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Scribner, Tarver and Mayor <br /> Mercer <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 7d <br />Item 4a <br />Approval of 1991-92 Fiscal Year Audit Contract <br /> <br /> Beverly Davis, 5000 Hopyard Road, Principal of Gielo & Davis, <br />stated that she needed to comment on the staff's recommendation <br />relative to the selection of the auditor and that the City had not <br />changed auditors for ten years. She assured Council that each year <br />an auditor brings a new perspective to the project. She explained <br />that there is no regulation that requires that a governmental audit <br />be rotated on any basis. She referred to the staff report and the <br />fees of the recommended auditor. Ms. Davis reviewed the staff <br />recommendation and then reviewed the hours in general used by her <br />own staff to prepare the City's audit work. She stated that Gielo <br />& Davis' costs for the period of the audit would be equal to or <br />possibly lower than, the fees of the recommended auditor. <br /> <br />6/23/92 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
