•V.                 APPROVAL OF MINUTES / DEMANDS

A.        Minutes of the Regular Meeting of March 10th, March 18th, and March 25th, 2008 were reviewed and approved by council.  Vice Mayor Webb moved to approve the minutes and Councilman Baeza seconded the motion.  The motion was passed unanimously (6-0).

B.         Vice Mayor Webb made the motion to approve the demands for the period of March 16th through March 31st, 2008.  Councilmen Hernandez seconded the motion after asking if the funds were in there.  Robert Mawson, Town Manager told him that they are being paid as the monies come in.  Motion passed unanimously (6-0).

•VI.              REPORTS BY DEPARTMENT HEADS / COMMITTEES

A.        The Mayor gave a report on several meetings that he attended this week.  He touched on the meeting with Risk Management and the delinquent payments.  He read his Mayor's Report to the Public.    The Mayor also reported on several mentor's that he has been talking with to help the Town of Miami current situation.  Mayor Medina discussed the current plans of Live Oak Street (Highway 60) and thought that if we did take the traffic lights out or put them on a timer to were they are not used all the time it would save the Town around Nine hundred Dollars a month.  Mayor Medina read a letter that was given to him by the Town Attorney and several Councilmember's thought that the letter should have been confidential and not read in public.  Mayor Medina then read a letter to the public by the Auditor Generals Office. 

  • B. Robert Mawson Town Manager replied to the Mayor and Council in his report that this audit

refers back to the years 2004 and 2005 and that is the year that has held us up. The town has been struggling with this ever since you're previous Town Clerk. The town contracted with someone in November to try again.  She is still under contract and is going through files and recorders and trying to make some sense of that budget year so everything can flow after that. We can not file forward until we get that year cleared up and filed.  She has been working with our Auditors. She is trying to put together the paper trail to file those reports.  We have been in contact with the Auditor Generals office and they are aware of what's going on.  I understand that someone has recently called them and that's what has generated this letter.  I will state it publicly right now that I find it very difficult to complete those things in three weeks. And we will begin our discussions with the Auditor General again concerning this item.  This goes back to the fiscal year 2004 and 2005 and our staff can attest to and they can also attest to it that we have had people working on it since that time.  But until we clarify that year were unable to file. Our balances will have to carry forward.  The last time I talked with this person working on this issue in February they were close to filling some type of report and I will touch basis with them again.  Town Manager, Robert Mawson said that again he is appalled with the action and things that are brought up here in a public meeting without any conversation with staff and that would have made things clear.

C.         Councilman Tena asked if anyone came up with anything about the request from the Church.   Town Attorney, William Clemmens gave the legal advice of how the Town may sell, donate or give public property.

•VII.           CALL TO THE PUBLIC

  • A. Gene Porto- 1217 Bird- Comments on the removal of the Mayor and said that it was pretty late in

                         the game to remove a Mayor.

  • B. Marty Feldhake invited the Council and Public to the kick off of the "Concert in the Park"
