Mayor Christy questioned the two year contract saying that he would
prefer a one year contract and he also questioned a section that
required department heads to consult with the City Manager before
talking to the City Attorney.
Mr. Mitchell explained that the reason for having department heads
check with him prior to contacting the City Attorney was only to
cut down on the amount of calls to the attorney. In many cases
some of these calls are unnecessary. Mr. Mitchell continued by
adding that he does not intend to prevent any department head from
consulting /with the City Attorney.

The City Manager spoke to the Council concerning a possible grant
for the improvement of Menard Beach. This type of grant is specifically
for nature areas not for sport type recreational areas. It is a
matching grant and the City could use the evaluation of the property
as the City's share of the grant however in order to do this, the
application should be ready by October 31, 1982. The Parks and
Recreation Board are working on this.
Mayor Christy brought up the fact that he had received information
on a grant for urban housing. Councilman Ledbetter asked if this
would create a housing authority. The Mayor replied he just wanted
the City to check into this possible grant.
Mr. Cameron asked about a sign designating the Menard Park. The
City Manager said they hoped to have this ready soon.
Mr. Gross spoke about a $10,000 grant for recreational facilities.
He learned about this over a year ago and gave the information to
Mr. Wolfe who was supposed to bring it to the attention of the City
Manager. There was a discussion about various types of grants that
require matching funds.
Councilman Lodico reminded the Council of the additional land donated
by Mr. May adjacent to the Menard property.
Mayor Christy announced that the Council would recess this Special
Meeting to go into a closed meeting on union negotiations.
Councilman Wilbur motioned to recess, seconded by Councilman Lodico.
Mayor Christy adjourned the meeting after the union nego~ia~ions.
