<br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />you can't keep secret meetings or minutes.. He sai.d he did not hear <br />motion for Mrs. Guy's award that the Adm. was directed to do it. <br />There was no notice of the meeting tonight published. He thinks.. that these <br />things are not Mr. wa.lkeJ;'~;.., faul t but maybe the Council' s respot1~ibili ty. <br />~, . , <br />He said he is not su+'e as a citizen that he wants the administrator or <br />attorney to negotiate with other municipalities. But he wants the Council <br />to negotiate. Is the Council prepared to put them into a give and take <br />responsibility as I read. 'it. I think the negotiations are the responsibility <br />of the Council. <br /> <br /> <br />Dennis Donovan said it is. an insult to Mr. Walker to extend him on his probation <br />period and unjust to citizens. <br /> <br />-Mr. Oliphant said it was clear in his mind that Mr. Walker has ability and <br />integrity. He said it is clear to him that Councilman Reimann has been out <br />to get him. The tone of his voice, the manner in which he treats Mr. Walker <br />is unfair. Mr. Walker has integrity and will not listen to a pack of lies. <br />We should be grateful to him, he is far better than most Administrators around <br />this area. <br /> <br />Mr. Schutz-there is negative aspect of Mrs. Guy being awarded something. <br />It should be thrown out completely. She was asked to take a leave of absence <br />and stop her employment. If Mr. Walker copied your notes or briefcase he <br />would have been fired immediately. This is white collar crime emulated. <br /> <br />Joleen Hawkins said she .would like to indicate herself that she thinks Mr. <br />Walker or any other citizen, from what I have seen of our meeting here or the': <br />behavior of people on the Council, would think we are a poor example. <br /> <br />Kathy Schneider commented. Basically she felt the criticizm was directed at <br />the Council, but for $16 ,000 a year or better, the Council probably wants to <br />be sure they are getting their monies worth. If Council' was being ipaid , we <br />would expect them to take care of all of this but they have other jobs and <br />she did not feel they should be criticized.(To the residents) You more or <br />less admitted that you as taxpayers expect certain things. <br /> <br />She said her relationship with Mr. Waiker has not al~a9s been peaceful to say <br />the least. She told him many times in the past that she was able to assist <br />the City by attending meetings, etc. She received no further word. She again <br />brought this to his attention. He told her it obviously slipped his mind <br />and took note of it. I was offering a totally free service to the City. <br />As Secretary of the Park Board, she went to Mr., Walker at the beginning and <br />told him the Park Board has always been weak with no direction or guidance and <br />has had no major accomplishments. It is community instituted and hopeful of <br />getting things accomplished. Onl y after several hours on the phone are we <br />able to get a quorum on the. meeting. Where is the incompetence coming from? <br />What is causing the problem here? We are not taken seriously. Things in the <br />minutes where we asked for things to be done never get taken care of. It. is <br />an organization of peop1.e who get no payor monitary value and we should be <br />at least given respect. <br /> <br />As far as Mr. Paquette being liaison, the Board doesn't have faith with Paquette <br />and there are too many people to accuse if there is somebody at fault, you <br />can't pin it down. <br /> <br />Mr. Gamec said the Planning & Zoning Co~ssion has received help from <br />Mr. Walker. It is not Mr. Walker's fault that people don.tt attend. He <br />said if that is the attitude of the Park Board maybe we should look at <br />relieving the Park Board. <br /> <br />R. Norton said he should be given a raise after hearing him speak. <br /> <br />Merle Mevissen said he agrees with Mr. Auspos that Mr. Walker is nice to <br />work for and takes care of complaints. <br /> <br />Les Wirz said he has not been on board very long, but to his notion Mr. <br />Walker is competent and is doing a good job. <br /> <br />Mr. Walker said he wants a decision tonight since his probation was already <br />up. He has a family to support, a home purchase and that he is trying to <br />do a good job and has had to wait and wait and wait for a decision on his <br />employment. He said his wife would like to have some stability. ' <br /> <br />Vii" W 7. <br />, J <br />
