Councilor Rundle stated he believed the compensation of $10,000 a year is still within the boundaries of "lay government" and the per diem does not motivate councilors to attend meetings. Clerk-Treasurer Cordray stated she endorsed not having a per diem. Chuck Phillips of 730 North Rangeline Road addressed the Council regarding the lack of zoning enforcement on North Rangeline Road.

Haney, draft a resolution requesting that the school take action regarding this problem. Councilor Carter would like to present this resolution at the next council meeting.
