that Mayor Brutsch, Councilmen Barks and DeBellis, City Clerk

the scheduled City Council Meeting date.

whereby Council could indicate who is going to be present at
the September 25 meeting and who is not. By doing this, if
there is not going to be a quorum, the affect would be to
continue the September 11 meeting to the meeting of October 9.

Departments not to schedule any items for the meeting of
September 25.
