Mayor Smith asked if there were any corrections or omissions to the minutes of the previous
meeting. Councilman Lucchio stated that he did not have a copy of his minutes with him and
therefore could not refer to the proper page but that iu au earlier discussion this afteruoon~
it was brought out there had been a motion made to the effect that the study meetings would
be curtailed. He stated that he would like to have a clarification of this point because he
did not believe that this was the intent of the motion. He felt that it was just for the
next meeting that the council was to have, that the study meeting interfered with the committ~
meeting and it was because of this reason that it was held over. Councilman Bosworth remarke~
that he also believed that study meetings should be held. Mayor Smith then inter~ected that
iu an effort to expedite this matter it was the wishes of the council members that the minute~
reflect that it was ~ t~mel im~ent to have all study meetings curtailed. He further remarked
that if there were no objections the minutes would be so corrected, requesting the City Clerk
to correct the minutes to show the intent of the motion. Mayor Smith then asked if there was
a motion to the effect that the minutes be approved. Councilman Lucchio so moved, seconded
by Councilman Cortesi and regularly carried.
Mayor Smith then went on to the item of claims. Councilman Cortesi moved, seconded by Coun-
cilman Lucchio and regularly carried, that all claims be approved.
