REPORTS
Doris Williams, rather than reporting on the Road and Bridge Advisory
Committee meeting of October 9, made a brief statement. She said she has
found the committee meetings to be very enlightening and considers the group
to be a real asset to the Road and Bridge Department. Mrs. Williams also
reported that the Elected Officials meeting of October 14 was cancelled. In
the interest of conserving time, the remainder of the scheduled reports were
dismissed. They had all dealt with the 1986 budget and that topic was discussed
at length in New Business.
Steve Yanoviak of Management Advisors, Inc. , made an interim report to the
Council concerning the performance audit of the Planning Department. Mr.
Yanoviak asked that if Councilmen had any further questions for him to explore
or if they would like him to change directions, this would be the time to advise
him. A final report will be prepared for the Council later in November.
