Item 2. Review and approve minutes
Alderman Lampe noted that the minutes of December 8th should reflect that the tuition reimbursement approval for Biggart was conditional and that his request would be considered along with anyone else who comes forward at the end of the year with requests and that the remaining funds will be divided. Alderman Kopplin made a motion to approve the minutes as amended. Alderman Toman seconded the motion. All aye; motion carried.
Item 3. Review and consider approval of tuition reimbursement requests
Alderman Kopplin made a motion to approve the requests from John Edwards for 2004. Alderman Toman seconded. All aye; motion carried.
Item 4. Review and consider Fire Department fitness equipment/space requests
Alderman Lampe had gone to Fire Stations 1 and 2 over the weekend. She felt that there was already room at Station 2 for another cardio machine and thought that the committee could consider converting the former Assistant Chief's and Chief's offices into an "L" shaped room, with the firefighters doing the remodeling work. The committee asked that cost estimates be brought back for consideration. After a discussion on equipment maintenance and replacement, the committee asked for a cost estimate for additional cardio equipment. Jerry indicated that the A/V equipment would come out of the donation account, but the committee wanted it made clear that wellness is a year-to-year consideration with no obligation on the city's part and does not bind the city to future replacement. Alderman Lampe made a motion requesting cost estimates prior to purchase approval for fitness equipment, contingent on the funds being taken from the donation account. Alderman Toman seconded the motion. All aye; motion carried.
Item 5. Discuss use of time clocks
The issue was forwarded to Bev Buretta. She will prepare a memo for the departments heads and it will be discussed at the next department head meeting. Adherence to the Work Rules will be implemented effective January 2, 2004. Department heads will be responsible for informing their employees.

a. Bargaining with Police Officers Union
Item 7. The Committee reconvened into Open Session at 9:10 p.m.
