Al Rosenga, 534 Parrott Street, addressed the Council, noting that he is happy to see that the rules of wage compensation have been observed. He feels we have finally gotten to the point that there is a set compensation for that job. C. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, addressed the Council, stating the Mayor does not qualify as a bonafide Mayor because she did not get over 50% of the vote of the people. He continued by stating that the Policy Committee came up during the Finance Committee meetings. He feels it is a political sham and a political payoff. He commented further on how the City Council should be restructured. He noted that the question is not what the Mayor does or doesn't do - she can do everything. The question is, does the Mayor run the City or will the City Manager run the City? He concluded by stating that the people should vote to restructure the Council to five members. D.
