7. Miscellaneous/Correspondence
A. Questions and comments from Councilmembers - Osmek thanked
Businaro for supplying him with line item explanations on the Parks
position upgrade. The cost for this position is more like $30,000 than the
$18,000 proposed in the budget (including all benefits). Meisel asked the
reason for this discrepancy and Businaro explained. Specht asked what
amount will be saved in unemployment by putting this individual full-time
and Businaro stated about $3,500. Brown questioned why the Council
was not given those numbers before the budget was approved.

Planning Case Update from Sarah Smith
LMC Information/Eminent Domain -Mayor Meisel
asked for input from the Council on this topic. John Dean stated that the
legislature will consider the use of eminent domain in this session. The
legislation proposed is an effort to eliminate the ability of cities in almost every
instance to acquire private property for the purpose of redevelopment by
other private property owners, by greatly changing the criteria. Osmek would
like to see the final version of the bill before taking a side on this issue.
