Emelie stated that she would like to be at the interviews. Shirley will have Cindy make her a packet.
Mayor's Comments:
The Mayor has heard that the Police Reserve gets only$1.00 per month and he feels that this is
unbelievable and would like the Clerk to look into this. He would like to know how their pay was
determined. Their positions are every bit as important as the other volunteers and he is curious as to why
they are not compensated. Shirley stated that she will look into the matter and report back to the
Committee.
Other:
Update from Tom Tom handed out reports that he would like to hand out to the press if he doesn't get
a favorable response back from the Governor's office. According to Tom's records,the State owes at
least$3.9 million for their share of the 2011 flooding and he plans on collecting it. He asked if the State
had given the City all of the money transferred from FEMA to DES. Shirley stated that it has not all been
received and she has e-mailed Shari Meadow to follow up. Tom stated that if she doesn't respond,
Shirley should consider contacting the Adjutant General. Tom will e-mail the information to Shirley.
