Berlin advised that re the Capital Improvements Plan, the Melrose Ave. Project would be constructed in Spring of FY'81 not FY'82 (Byington- Grand Ave. Improvements.) In March Council received a detailed memo from Plastino regarding the construction schedule. Due to number of projects and workload in Public Works, to move construction up, it would probably have to be contracted out. Different opinions regarding the direction to staff were discussed. The Melrose Task Force has requested considerable information from Public Works. Kucharzak requested that he and Brachtel meet with the Task Force and then bring recommendations to Council. Berlin will schedule discussion on this matter for June 30th informal meeting. \ 2. Berlin noted that Norman Bailey was present. There were no questions re- garding his letter.

Later in the meeting Berlin advised that the corrected CIP had not been submitted to Council, so the item was deleted from the 6/17 agenda. Helling suggested that the goal -setting session be scheduled & will work out a day when everyone can be present. 7. Balmer noted his approval of action taken by Helling regarding the Lincoln School tornado siren. All other Councilmembers agreed. 8.

Balmer stated that he had an excellent working relationship with Berlin as did the University, Schools and business community. He is someone they can talk to. Erdahl said that Berlin had an excellent relationship with Councilmembers also, that administrative efficiency was his big plus. Erdahl noted his concerns regarding the budget process, as did Ferret. Roberts thought he was doing a tremendous job, including the affirmative action program. Vevera, who has worked under four other city managers, stated that Berlin was the best one so far, & also had concerns re- garding the budget process. Lynch thought Berlin was an '11' on a scale of 1 to 10, was extremely impressive, got incredible amounts of work accomplished, in a difficult town to be a city manager in. Erdahl stated that Berlin did not usurp the Council's authority. Berlin and Helling then returned and Mayor Balmer related the above statements to them. Berlin agreed that the new budget process tried did not work, and a different procedure is being worked out.
