that at some time in the past. She stated it will be up to the Commission to decide.

and City Manager Shang responded that $2,500 is the maximum allowed.

Members can make mention of any items to be placed on a future agenda and City
Manager Shang responded "yes" and that she believed there was a consensus to create
an item under City Commission Special Reports or Commission Comments. Vice Mayor
Nabicht stated the Commission had not taken action to change that policy so it is still the
existing policy.
Commissioner Bradford stated the Commission was not able to vote on that at the meeting
and Vice Mayor Nabicht responded that staff would present a DRAFT of the policy on an
agenda when the "DRAFT" policy was ready and that it is in progress.
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if there were any other questions or comments from the
Commission and Commissioner Herzberg responded she would like to bring up the topic
of fireworks for discussion and asked if she should do that now or at the meeting
downstairs. It was determined that Commissioner Herzberg would bring the topic up at the
meeting downstairs. Vice Mayor Nabicht recommended the way the Commission could
deal with that because it is not on the agenda is Commissioner Herzberg could give a brief
synopsis of the problem and make a motion for that topic to be included on an agenda at a
future meeting so staff can have time to prepare. Vice Mayor Nabicht stated if there is a
second to the motion the Commission will vote on it to be placed on an agenda.
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if any staff members or the public had any comments and there
were none.
