City Attorney Interviews
June 3, 1985
Informal Council Discussion: June 3, 1985, at 1:15 p.m. in the Council
Chambers of the Civic Center. Mayor John McDonald presiding.
fCouncil Present: McDonald, Erdahl, Strait, Ambrisco, Baker, Dickson, Zuber.
f Staff Present: Berlin, Karr, Jansen (2:00 p.m.), Helling.
Tape-recorded: Reel 85-C46, Side 1, 211 -End, Side 2, 1-261.
McDonald stated that both City Attorney applicants have requested closed
session interviews. Moved by Erdahl, seconded by Baker, to adjourn to
executive session under Section 21.5.i to evaluate the professional compe-
tency of an individual whose appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is
being considered when necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to
that individual's reputation as that individual requests a closed session.
(City Attorney interviews.)
Erdahl noted that the applicants, Mr. Timmins and Mr. Kelinson , have cited
reasons for the closed session. Strait stated the City Council has a duty to
follow the Iowa Open Meetings Law statute regarding the interpretation of
"needless and irreparable injury." Strait quoted another section of the
statute, "reasonably relied upon decision of a court or a formal opinion of
the attorney general or the attorney for the governmental body." Strait
requested an opinion from the City Attorney regarding holding the interviews
in open or closed sessions.
Erdahl said closed session interviews would allow more candor in the evalu-
ation process and would protect the reputation of the applicants.
McDonald noted that it was his understanding that when an applicant to be
interviewed requests a closed session and provides reasons for the closed
session that under the statute the Council can legally grant the applicant
that request. Baker asked how a closed session interview differs from closed
session evaluations of the City Manager. In response to Baker, Erdahl said
both types of tlosed sessions are under the same section of the statute.
Council recessed to allow for the arrival of the City Attorney.
Council recovened the informal discussion upon the arrival of the City
Attorney. Jansen reviewed the applicant's request for closed session. Jansen
noted that Mr. Timmins stated in his letter that he would support his request
for a closed session with specific information at the time of his interview.
Jansen stated that two requirements have to be met for a closed session: 1)
applicant must request closed session; and 2) applicant must indicate that
irreparable injury may occur. Jansen said attorneys are treated differently
in that an attorney's prized asset is his reputation as a lawyer and,
therefore, ceetain considerations are made for attorneys that might not be
present for another person. Jansen said that the Attorney General has stated
that mere inconvenience or embarrassment is not enough to justify a closed

session for the applicant and there must be some indication of irreparable
injury or harm. Jansen stated that the Council cannot hold partly closed and
partly opened interviews.
Jansen stated that he was satisfied with Mr. Kelinson's indication of serious
harm or injury if the interview was held in open session.
Jansen said the Council needs to establish, on record, the request and
justification for the closed session.
In response to Strait, Jansen said the Council is capable of going into a
closed session if Mr. Timmins' request and specific justification for a
closed session is recorded before the Council goes into the closed session.
Council agreed to have Mr. Timmins state his reasons for a closed session
prior to a decision.
Berlin introduced Terry Timmins. Timmins stated that a closed session would
allow for certain types of questions and for him to answer them sincerely and
honestly; he would feel constrained in a public session; and answers could be
injurious and could do his client irreparable harm.
In response to Erdahl, Jansen said motions to hold a closed session should be
done separately for each applicant. In response to Strait, Jansen said Mr.
Timmins has firmly stated irreparable injury could occur.
In response to McDonald, Jansen said Mr. Timmins has stated proper reasons
for a closed session.
Erdahl withdrew his previous motion and moved to adjourn to executive session
under Section 21.5.1 to evaluate the professional competency of an individ-
ual whose appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is being considered
when necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to that individ-
ual's reputation and that individual requests a closed session to interview
Craig Kelinson. Seconded by Baker. Roll call vote 6/1 with the following
division: Ayes: McDonald, Erdahl, Ambrisco, Baker, Dickson, Zuber. Nays:
Strait. The Mayor declared the motion carried. Moved by Strait to recon-
sider. Motion died for lack of second. Moved by Strait to adjourn the
meeting. Motion died for lack of second. Council adjourned to executive
session, 2:30 p.m.
Council reconvened into informal session at 3:40 p.m. Berlin stated he will
contact Mr Kelinson this evening after the Council meeting.
Moved by Erdahl, seconded by Baker, to adjourn to executive session under
Section 21.5.1 to evaluate the professional competency of an individual whose
appointment, hiring, performance or discharge is being considered when
necessary to prevent needless and irreparable injury to the individual's
reputation and that individual requests a closed session to interview Terry
Timmins. Erdahl noted Mr. Timmins has indicated that discussion of matters

or commercial zones to be either a monument sign or a free-standing sign.
In response to Strait, Franklin said the sign would not be as high as 'the
Aldi's sign and Northgate would be permitted to have 125 square feet per
sign face. Strait requested a diagram of the sign before Council takes
action on the amendment. In response to Baker, Franklin said staff felt
the changes were best handled through an amendment to the ordinance.
C. Public hearing/amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to revise notice

SIDEWALK CAFES: Reel 85-C44, Side 2
McDonald stated the president of the Downtown Association requested Council
allow the Downtown Association Board of Directors to consider sidewalk cafes
and present Council with additional information. McDonald stated Mr. Zuber
and Mr. Strait were not present at the sidewalk cafe discussion two weeks ago
and asked if they would like to pursue the sidewalk cafe concept. In
response to Strait, McDonald stated he has received comments from the
Downtown Association in favor as well as against sidewalk cafes.
r
McDonald explained that if sidewalk cafes are approved, those establishments
would need to be willing to sign separate agreements with the City contract-
ing the number of hours that the business establishment can use the sidewalk f
frontage. In response to Ambrisco, McDonald said sidewalk cafes would be
included in the CB -2 and CB -10 zones. In response to Strait, Jansen said
State law says liquor businesses can remain open the hours that are set forth
in State Code, there is nothing in the Code that says they have to stay open,
The Legal Department believes that under home rule, the City has the author-
