With regard to liability suits, Commissioner Gamec stated the grounds are very technical and that persons on a Commission should refrain from smarting-off, that the citizens have more rights than the person seated at a commission table. With regards to traffic accidents while on Commission business, commission members are not covered by the City policy. B.

Commissioner Buchanan requested Commissioner Gamec to explain "move fast on financing issues." Commissioner Gamec replied that it means acting when the interest market is right. Commissioner Buchanan inquired if sewer and water bonding would have been put to a vote of the people. Commissioner Sieber noted that the City does not have to go to an election for bonding.
