Summary

During Good of the Order at the April 27 workshop, Mayor Kave proposed ordering lapel pins and challenge coins, and Council Member Helms relayed residents' questions about being billed for garbage service while only present part-time; Mayor Kave asked staff to provide the franchise agreement for review.

At the end of the April 27 workshop Mayor Kave raised a proposal to order lapel pins with years-of-service bars for employees and to produce challenge coins featuring the city logo and the 250th commemorative flag. Council Member Helms said a few citizens had asked why they continue to be billed for garbage service when they are only at their property part of the time.

Mayor Kave indicated the franchise agreement may need revised billing language and requested that staff provide him a copy of the franchise agreement for review. Council Member Helms noted he is working on a similar challenge-coin idea and suggested coordinating to avoid duplication. The minutes do not record a formal council decision, a direction to amend the franchise agreement, or any timeline for follow-up; staff follow-up was requested in order to determine whether ordinance or contract language requires revision.
