WHEREAS, the City Council deems it imperative that all persons, public and staff, conducting business with the City Council be treated in a professional and courteous manner; and,

WHEREAS, during the August 22", 2005 meeting, it is deemed that Councilor Doug Durrett initiated disparaging, unwarranted and unprofessional remarks toward a member of the City staff.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Sodaville City Council resolves that Councilor Durrett’s actions during the above Council Meeting are not acceptable to the Council as a whole and his disparaging remarks do not reflect the position or feelings of the remainder of the Council.
