A RESOLUTION APPOINTING DEBBIE LEIGH MORRIS AND EVELYN
HUTCHERSON ACTING DEPUTY CITY CLERKS TO ACT ONLY IN THE
ABSENCE OF THE CITY CLERK; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Resolution. Mr. Spenik advised that it was his opinion the
Deputy City Clerks should be appointed in this way in case any
action they perform is challenged. Discussion followed.
It was pointed out that Ms. Debbie Morris would serve as the
primary Deputy Clerk in the absence of City Clerk, Jan Leeser,
with Mrs. Hutcherson only serving in that capacity if both Mrs .
Leeser and Mrs. Morris were unavailable.
Vote on the motion was unanimous. Resolution No . 91-25 was
adopted.
2. Motion Re: Legal Counsel
Mayor Salamone moved to accept the City Manager's recommendation
on the John and Ivy Bolanowski case. Mr. Randels seconded
motion.
Mr. Randels requested clarification on the events leading to
this request. City Attorney Woodman explained that he had
represented the Bolanowskis prior to being appointed City
Attorney. He further noted that they have subsequently
challenged a decision of the Building Official 's by filing a
request for Administrative Appeal, which has been brought before
[er the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. Woodman noted that he had
previously advised the Mayor and City Manager of his
representation of the Bolanowskis, but the Zoning Board of
Adjustment, as well as the Bolanowskis insurance company, felt
there was a conflict by his representation of both sides. Mr.
Woodman noted that he had since withdrawn as attorney for the
Bolanowskis , as well as from representing the City in this case.
Discussion followed.
Mayor Salamone clarified that the motion would authorize the
City Manager to engage a law firm versed in municipal law to
represent the City in this matter.
Vote on the motion was unanimous .
