PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Melanie Hergert, The behavior at last meeting from an employee of the city. Didn't think it was proper behavior to yell and point finger in her face. Wanted to know what happened to the Self Evaluation that was passed to do? Mayor reported that he had talked to Brad Cole and he said it wasn't necessary at this time. He also said he would fight for her right to say her opinion and she had to remember that the other person also has the right to express her opinion. This happened after the meeting was over, we were not aware of it until later. The employee was not at work when this happened. MAYOR'S REPORT:
