The Mayor read the following statement into the record: "Section 21.8 of the Code of
Iowa outlines conditions that allow governmental bodies to conduct business by electronic
meetings. That Section requires a statement be read into the record explaining why such a
meeting in person was impossible to impractical for a particular member. I would like to take this
opportunity to state that a special Council meeting was scheduled and convened at 7:30 this
morning (July 27) for the purposes stated on the agenda. However after discussion, and in the
absence of two Council Members, a motion was made to adjourn and reconvene to 6:30 this
evening for continuance of the same agenda. Because Council Member Pigott was at this
morning's meeting, heard that discussion, and had a previous commitment out of town that does
make it impossible for him to attend, he will be voting via speaker phone this evening."
