CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING NOVEMBER 2, 1989 PAGE 2 OF 3 0 0 DISCUSSION Mr. Hoog requested the City Attorney research the legality of the adoption of Ordinance No. 15-89 at the last Regular Meeting, which adopted the new Personnel Policy. This Ordinance was adopted after reconsideration at the end of the meeting. Mr. Randels questioned the status of construction of the new Dune Crossover and the installation of the lights on Columbia Drive. He further noted that the City Council needed to begin thinking about adopting a capitol budget as called for in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Leeser noted that she and the County Supervisor of Elections Office had received several phone calls regarding the ballot, since the absentee ballots were mailed out. One of the main complaints was that the City was spending money to conduct an election when it was not necessary. Mrs . Leeser questioned the City Attorney if it would -be legally acceptable to amend the City Code to state that if -there were the same number of quali- fied candidates as vacant seats that the term of office would be determined by the luck of the draw. Mr. Theriac advised that this could be done. Mrs. Leeser noted that the Council may want to consider such an amendment in the future.
