Honorable F. Paul Goodland, Mayor
City of Ames, Iowa
In Re : Revised Ordinance For Electric Utility Advisory Board
Dear Mayor Goodland :
As you asked, I discussed the ordinance with Mr. Ken Kruempel
to ascertain the specifics of what he found objectionable with
the scope of the advisory board ordinance . He said that it
should specifically mention finances and accounting . I said
I would prepare a revised ordinance accordingly and asked if
he wished to have a copy sent to him. He said that he did
not wish to have a copy sent . He also said he did not think
much of the advisory board because of reports he had received
of such a board in Columbia, Missouri, where allegedly, (a)
the board' s advice is not taken (b) people who are not
sympathetic to the council ' s positions are removed or not
reappointed.
However that may be, I give you herewith a new form of
ordinance along the lines you requested.
Respectfully submitted,
ohn R. Klaus
City Attorney
