Evaluation of New Council Process <br /> <br />Mayor Keller asked how the new process--having no meetings on the first week of <br />the month--was working out.

Future Agendas <br /> <br />Mayor suqgested members submit to the City Manager or to the Mayor topics that <br />they would like discussed at future dinner meetinqs. It was asked whether <br />council members could bring up items that they had not posted previously. Mayor <br />said that they could and that some items might be postponed to the Wednesday <br />council meeting. It was not the intent of the dinner meetings to take action. <br /> <br />C. Status of ICAP Grant <br /> <br />Ms. Wooten explained in her role working for Congressman Weaver she was investi- <br />gating the status of the ICAP grant. In calling to find out the status she was <br />told that the grant had been lost since October 29. They were starting all <br />over. She had gotten documentation from the Police Department that the Justice <br />Department had received the grant. They will be resubmitting the application to <br />the Justice Department immediately but they have lost four months in the process. <br /> <br />D.
