MOTION made by Council Member Stafford, seconded by Council Member
Mackenzie, to schedule the City Manager's performance evaluation as an item for a
City Council closed session as requested.
Discussion of the motion included comments for the record as follows:
Council Member Callinan indicated, for the record, as one of the twos new City
Council Members elected after the City Manager left for military duty, that he did not
know how he could do an employee evaluation when he hasn't done anything for him, so
would have a hard time voting on this, and that he would love to see him come back and
take on the position he had when he left, hoping he has a miracle answer for us.
Mayor Breeze indicated, for the record, that she was looking forward to Mr. Donley
returning safely from his leave with the Coast Guard to help with our current situation
and find out what kind of solutions he has to bring for the City and our current budget,
so at this time, did not feel a need to go forward with the performance evaluation.

Interim City Manager clarified that the budget sessions over the past several meetings
have focused on the General Fund and that staff will be bringing the Enterprise Funds to
Council later. At some point the City will have to deal with the affects of Measure L on
the Sewer Enterprise Fund. He noted that the reference to default on the debt made
earlier this evening by Director of Administrative Services Lipitz was to Measure L
which has effectively put us in default on that debt because we are not taking in the
revenues that we guaranteed when we issued those bonds and clarified that the City is
paying its bills.
In response to request by Mayor Breeze to make the statement for the record, Interim
City Manager Schwarz indicated that expenses are roughly exceeding revenues $10,000
per day from the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Responding to further Council questions on this
matter, Mr. Schwarz confirmed that if sufficient rates are not collected, we will have to
draw from the General Fund the $10,000 per day, which amounts to $3.65 million per
year, for those expenses.
Interim City Manager Schwarz further clarified in accordance with previous direction
provided by Council to build actual dollar amounts for each department in the budget.
This will include building in an auditor position at roughly $13,000 that will pay for itself
several times over and continue the practice discussed with the maintenance workers to

purchase of the area referred to as the stadium lands, including successful meeting with
representatives of the stadium lands which he attended today with Director of
Engineering Services Jenkins, clearing up some misunderstandings and continuing to
work toward realizing final options by October 19th. Council asked the Interim City
Manager for further clarification of the bills and analysis regarding the Attorney fees.'
