Mayor asked that the minutes show that Mr. Obie abstained from voting. e B. Joint Session With Planning Commission--Mr. Lieuallen said U-Lane-O Credit Union is requesting all its members to contact their City Councilor in order to have some impact with regard to the upcoming joint Council session with the Planning Commission. If they do that, the Councilors will be unable to vote on that issue. With consent of Council, Mr. Lieuallen asked staff to contact U-Lane-O and make clear the impact of what they are requesting their members to do. If they know what they are doing, to register a protest. If they don It know, to explain the procedures. C. Metro Wastewater Management Commission: Sludge Disposal Site--Mr. Lieuallen requested a briefing memo about this issue. Ms. Smith said she would ask Mr. Pye at the Commission meeting tommorrow morning if such a memo could be put together. The Commission is in the process of reviewing possible sites. Two sites have been eliminated. Assistant Manager said there will be a field trip to view the sites on August 23, 1979. If Councilors wish to go, they should contact the Manager's Office. D. Revenue Task Force Committee--Ms. Miller asked if she might attend as an alternate, since her appointee will be out of town. Mr. Lieuallen said that he felt justified to do the same thing, since his appointee is on vacation this month. Mayor Keller questioned this practice since the intent of the Council was that the Committee should do their task without the influence of the Council. He wondered whether this . practice would be exercising their best judgment. Ms. Miller said she could have appointed herself but that she wanted to depoliticize the Committee and get broader participation. 8/15/79-1 Lf5'f
