The Mayor said they were there to take care of the appointment of Teena Sagley, which had gone into
executive session at the May 16, 2005 Council meeting. The Mayor said they needed to finish the job by bringing
the appointment back to open Council meeting. Alderman Swaim seconded by Alderman Parker made a motion to
appoint Teena Sagley to the Council Position 2 Ward 2. On the Clerk's calling the roll, the following vote
resulted: Ayes—Alderman Swain, Parker, Moore and Dodd. Nays -(0). Alderman Spoon abstained. The Mayor
asked Alderman Spoon if he would like to say anything. Alderman Spoon said his reason for abstaining was
because all three (3) candidates were excellent and there wasn't a right or wrong. He said they were all great and
