Mayor Satori, and
Aldermen David Stoppel, Bryan Sumpter, Kelly Simon, and Kathy Harrison.
James DeVito and Jack
Dozier were absent.
ALSO PRESENT:
Don Matt, Bill Ames, Kim

The purpose of the meeting
was that the Council give a vote of confidence to the Mayor’s appointment of
Bill Rubley as interim director to the Transit Department.
Mayor Satori told the
Council that he had terminated Lisa Liggett as Director of Transit. He said that David Maliska had quit. Mr.
Maliska was the head mechanic at the Trolley Barn. He said that the assistant seemed to think he
could fill in until such time as another head mechanic was hired. He said that Mr. Maliska was not certified to
handle diesel.
He said that Ms. Rose will
provide job descriptions for the Director and Head Mechanic positions.
Mayor Satori said that Mr.
Rubley wanted three things. He asked for
a vote of confidence from the City Council and the Transit Committee. He asked that the City immediately advertise
for the position of a full time transit director.
He asked that at least 2
if not 4 more people be appointed to the Transit Committee.
Alderman Stoppel made the motion and Alderman Simon
seconded to give Mr. Rubley the Council’s vote of confidence. All were in
favor, 4/0/0.
Mr. Rubley does not intend
to be paid for his participation. There
was some discussion as to how that could be done.
Alderman Stoppel made the motion to increase the Transit
Committee from 5 to 7. Since no vote was needed because it had
already been decided to have seven members, he withdrew his motion.
Both Alderman Harrison and
Alderman Simon felt a Council member should be on the Transit Committee.
Mr. Rubley has asked that
the Committee, the Council and the Community to all get involved. If people have ideas, write them down and
turn them in to someone. Nobody can be
expected to remember them otherwise.
Alderman Sumpter said it
would help if they could research costs for some of the ideas, so the Council
could see what could be done. Cost is
the bottom line.
The motion was made and
seconded to adjourn. The meeting was
adjourned at
