This input should be submitted by January 10, 1986. Councilmember Mohr stated that the southbound lane on First Street from Kottinger to the tennis courts is in very poor condition. Staff was instruct- ed investigate this matter. Councilmember Wood stated he felt a majority vote of the Council should be allowed to overrule any decision of the Mayor. Councilmember Butler stated it is his understanding that the majority vote of the City Council can overrule any decision of the Mayor. The City Attorney advised this is correct. Coun- cilmember Mercer stated he has been on the Council for ten years and during that time there have many appointments made to various commission, boards, and committees, and there has never been any controversy, and he did not feel there was any justification at this time to change the appointment powers of the Mayor; he did not want to participate in any such decision and would ab- stain on this issue. Councilmember Mohr stated there are reasonable times when people disagree and this would allow for that disagreement to be ad- dressed. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that in the future a majority vote of the City Council would be able to overrule a decision of the Mayor. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Mohr and Wood NOES: Councilmember Butler and Mayor Brandes ABSENT: None ABSTAINED:Councilmember Mercer Mayor Brandes advised the motion failed because of the above vote. Mayor Brandes stated that after discussion with the City Manager he felt the Capital Improvement Program for the City should be considered at mid-year rather than at the time the General Operating Budget is reviewed. He stated this would allow projects to be approved and completed within that year, and alleviate staff workload. Council concurred. Mayor Brandes s'tated that letters have been received from developers regarding long term agreements. He felt it is inappropriate to discuss long term agreements at this time. He suggested that letters be sent to the development community advising them that the long term agreement process will not be considered until later in the year and requesting a reply from the developers by February 1, 1986, if they are still interested in this process. 3 - 12-17-85
