PUBLIC Ms. Colette Hall, 101 Robertson Lane, asked about the City Manager’s role of public safety director referred to in the employment agreement on the consent agenda. Mr. Peter Kleeman, 407 Hedge Street, expressed concern about Council approving the consent agenda in a work session format rather than at a regular meeting. He said he is confused about why Council is having a work session rather than having a regular meeting and then adjourning for the work session. Mr. Norris asked if the public notice for work sessions is the same as for regular meetings, and Jeanne Cox, Clerk of Council, said yes. Dr. Brown said the nature of the consent agenda is that there is no discussion about the items. He said he does not see a distinction between doing it at this meeting and a regular meeting. Dr. Brown suggested that items pulled from the consent agenda nd for discussion be deferred to the January 2 meeting. CONSENT AGENDA
