C. City Motto /City Logo Enhancements
Economic Development Director Parr gave a presentation on the proposed
City motto and imagery to serve as an optional enhancement to the City Logo
called "WHERE PRIDE AND PROSPERITY MEET ". She asked the City
Council for feedback.
Council Member Olsen, Council Member Thiede, and Council Member
Peterson were pleased with the design.
Council Member Lehrke asked why there was a bike in the imagery versus a
walker, a soccer player, a hockey player, or a golfer.
Economic Development Director Parr stated that there really was no specific
reason and noted that they looked at multiple designs and actually had the bike
in place but the consultant thought that it should be taken out. If the Council
thinks it is too busy with the bike, it is something that could be removed.
Mayor Bailey stated he was just wondering what it would look like with a
walker. He stated that he sees more people walking in this community than
riding a bike.
Economic Development Director Parr advised the City Council that she would
put together a number of recreational options to see what the City Council
thinks.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A. February 15, 2012 Regular Meeting
Mayor Bailey asked if there were any changes or corrections to the February 15,
2012 Regular Meeting minutes.
Item 8. B. i — Consider Accepting Validation of the Charter Petition
Council Member Lehrke stated that in the minutes, it says that Council Member
Lehrke voted Nay, changed his mind, and Mayor Bailey called for a roll call vote.
He stated that under Roberts Rules of Order, when there is a voice vote, you do
not record the names. If you do, then there would be no need for a roll call vote. It
should be that there was a voice vote which the Mayor determined carried but
then Mayor Bailey asked the City Clerk to conduct a roll call vote.
Council Member Lehrke stated that on page 6, the motion reads: MOTION BY
COUNCIL MEMBER THIEDE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER
OLSEN, TO ACCEPT THE VALIDATION OF THE CHARTER PETITION.
Cottage Grove City Council
March 21, 2012 Regular Meeting
MOTION CARRIED. 4 -1 (COUNCIL MEMBER LEHRKE VOTED NAY).
He stated that in a voice vote, it either carriers or it does not carry. You cannot
have a 4 -1 voice vote.
City Attorney Heine stated that it is correct if you are strictly following Roberts
Rules of Order. Roberts Rules was designed for larger bodies, so if you were at the
House of Representatives and they took a vote and it was a voice vote, the Chair
would make that determination and you would not record exactly how each
person voted. In small bodies like this, you can tell who voted what so you would
record the votes. It is not inappropriate to have your minute's state that a motion
prevailed on a voice vote and then there was a request for a roll call. She stated
that it would also be fine as Council Member Lehrke proposed. That is not a
problem.
Council Member Lehrke stated that it should say that it carried with no
denomination as to what the vote was because in a voice vote if one person is
silent it would be counted as if they were voting Aye. That is why you have a roll
call vote, to say who said what.
Mayor Bailey stated that it was his recollection that Council Member Lehrke
initially voted nay and then stated that he did not mean to vote nay and that is
why he requested a roll call vote.
Council Member Lehrke explained that he was actually reading at the time of the
vote so he asked to correct his vote. Therefore, the Mayor asked for a roll call vote
and then we all voted Aye.
Mayor Bailey stated that what Council Member Lehrke is that he does not want
everybody listed. Council Member Lehrke stated that everybody can be listed but
everybody voted Aye.
Mayor Bailey stated that Council Member Lehrke did not vote Aye the first time.
Council Member Lehrke stated that was correct.
Mayor Bailey stated that if Council Member Lehrke voted Nay on the voice vote
and then voted Aye during a roll call vote, he changed his vote from the initial
voice vote.
City Attorney Heine stated that yes you know that to be the fact because there are
only five people. If you are not taking a roll call vote, you do not need to identify
which person voted which way. You can simply identify that it prevailed on the
voice vote.
City Attorney Heine stated that the way that the City Clerk has prepared the
minutes is the way that she has always seen cities prepare their minutes. When
somebody votes in opposition, they just record who voted in opposition. It is done
Cottage Grove City Council
March 21, 2012 Regular Meeting
this way by every City she has ever sat in on in 30 years. It is not improper for it to
be recorded that way, it also is not improper for it to be recorded the way Council
Member Lehrke has requested.
Item 8. B. ii — Consider adopting a Resolution in Support of Applicants for Seats
on the Charter Commission
Council Member Lehrke stated that he would like the record to include the fact
that he had asked the question that he was confused as to how the applicants
either turned in applications directly to the City or directly to the Judge and that
he thought that he was hearing different stories and then it was stated that those
that turned in applications to the City were due to outreach from the Mayor. Then
at approximately 1 hour, 26 minutes (in the tape recording of the meeting) he
starts the conversation and the conversation if you all recall was the idea of why
aren't we putting everybody on the list and the example that he brought up was
Michael Edman. The quote was "we are not appointing one (1) gentleman who
sits on a public commission and he said that he followed the City direction which
was in turn to turn in his application directly to the Court yet we are not adding
his name ". He was making the point that Mr. Edman followed the directions of
the City which he had made earlier in the argument but why weren't we adding
his name to that list. Immediately, Council Member Olsen said that Michael
Edman's name was on the list. Then Mayor Bailey said his name was on the list.
He said okay, so the list has been updated. Council Member Peterson said yes,
Mayor Bailey said it is on line, Council Member Olsen said that he just read it.
Then he said, so the list has been updated since the Saturday meeting. Mayor
Bailey, Council Member Olsen, Council Member Peterson and City
Administrator Schroeder all said yes. Council Member Lehrke said that it has
been updated. Then the City Administrator said that he just recently changed the
list and he was dragging out, Mayor Bailey interrupted and said today and then
City Administrator Schroeder said today, sometime ya. Then he said he was glad
that that is cleared up. Then the list went forward with only the 13 names even
though we had this big long discussion. Four (4) people told him that he was
incorrect and that what he was looking for had been corrected and so then we
voted. His understanding is then we sent forth that list with only 13 names. I see
an issue with that. I also do not see from the packet we received on Friday, and
then when we were having this discussion, I do not see that the list changed at all.
So there are a lot of issues here and maybe that is for a different day, but he would
just like the minutes to be reflected correctly."
Council Member Thiede stated that in support of time, he suggested that to the
extent that Council Member Lehrke's request matches the televised portion of the
meeting that it be included in the minutes.
Discussion then followed on whether a roll call and voice votes were required,
that votes need to be recorded and done consistently so that there is a historical
record, the experience and training of City Clerk in the art of minute taking,
Cottage Grove City Council
March 21, 2012 Regular Meeting
whether a roll call vote is required for expenditures or appropriations, Council
courtesy, abstaining, following Robert's Rules of Order, recording voice votes that
are not heard, recording a friendly amendment, and approving minutes by
consensus or motion.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER LEHRKE TO APPROVE THE
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 15 MEETING AS AMENDED.
Council Member Peterson asked for clarification on the amendment.
Council Member Lehrke advised that the amendment would be everything that he
read into the minutes (on page 5).
THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER THIEDE.
COUNCIL MEMBER LEHRKE CLARIFIED HIS MOTION TO NOT
INCLUDE THE VOTING BUT WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE DISCUSSION
ON PAGE 5 ABOVE.
UPON VOTE BEING TAKEN, MOTION FAILED. 2 -3.
Mayor Bailey asked the City Clerk to conduct a roll call vote.
COUNCIL MEMBER LEHRKE VOTED AYE; COUNCIL MEMBER
PETERSON VOTED NAY; COUNCIL MEMBER OLSEN VOTED NAY;
COUNCIL MEMBER THIEDE VOTED AYE; AND MAYOR BAILEY
VOTED NAY. MOTION FAILED. 2 AYES AND 3 NAYS.
Mayor Bailey asked the City Attorney if we need to make another motion to
approve the minutes since the original motion failed.
City Attorney Heine responded that she would act on the minutes by motion.
MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER OLSEN, SECONDED BY COUNCIL
MEMBER PETERSON, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE
FEBRUARY 15, 2012 REGULAR MEETING.
Council Member Olsen clarified that the reason he voted nay on the first motion
was because the Attorney stated earlier that the minutes of the February 15
meeting would reflect the concerns that were expressed around the minutes. That
will already be on the record.
Council Member Lehrke stated that he would like to clarify with the City
Attorney noting that he has concerns but if something different happened in that
Cottage Grove City Council �7
March 21, 2012 Regular Meeting
meeting than what is actually being reported, the minutes should be changed and
we should not move forward and put into the record, minutes that we know to be
incorrect or not complete.
City Attorney Heine stated that it is correct that the minutes should accurately
reflect what happened at the meeting. If for example a vote was recorded
improperly and everybody knows that the vote was recorded improperly, it should
be corrected. If there was a motion that was made and it is not recorded, that
motion should be recorded. The minutes should be accurate. They do not have to
be detailed or verbatim, but they should be accurate in terms of what they do
identify. All motions and votes taken should be reflected in the minutes.
Council Member Lehrke stated that since his motion was only on the discussion
and the things that happened in that meeting, it does not make sense to leave them
out of the official minutes but then they show up in some other random meeting
later on.
City Attorney Heine stated that she would have to admit that at this point she is
starting to get confused, so what she would suggest is that the Council defer a vote
on the approval of the February 15 regular meeting minutes, that Council Member
Lehrke prepare his proposed additional or changes and give it to the City Council
so that they can have an opportunity to review it before the next meeting and then
bring it back so that the City Council can determine what changes need to be
made to the minutes. In addition, that would give the City Clerk the opportunity
to review her notes and the audio tape of the meeting to verify that the minutes
were accurate as initially prepared. That is what she would recommend.
COUNCIL MEMBER OLSEN AND COUNCIL MEMBER PETERSON
WITHDREW THEIR MOTION.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER OLSEN, SECONDED BY COUNCIL
MEMBER PETERSON, TO TABLE THE MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY
15, 2012 REGULAR MEETING TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING.
Council Member Thiede commented that we just wasted about 40 minutes talking
about something that is documented in video and just to go on record that he
thinks this was a real waste of time.
Council Member Lehrke stated that he does not find this to be a total waste of
time.
City Administrator Schroeder stated that he believes the confusion was a matter of
semantics. For instance, he recalls that when he was being asked about the list, his
response was in reference to the list that was in the memorandum not the
resolution.
Cottage Grove City Council p
March 21, 2012 Regular Meeting O
