Two hundred volunteers are expected. Tools needed: shovels, pitch forks. After the maintenance is finished, a celebration pig roast will be held at Cushing Park at 5 p.m. Also, a dish to pass is requested.

MOTION TO APPROVE SCOUTING VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. (CRAIG/LIEBLANG). CARRIED.

b. EMT-Paramedic Medical Control Contract Adm. Carlson stated that this is a contract between the City of Delafield and Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital that solidifies each of the responsibilities to continue the EMT program with Oconomowoc Hospital as expansion into the paramedic level proceeds. This is the same agreement that has been executed in the past. The only change is that substitution of the word paramedic for EMT has been done. Chief Swayze and Holly Arndt present. Discussion. Paramedic program slightly ahead of schedule. A request for State approval of two paramedics, twenty-four hours, 365 days will be made January 1, 2001.

MOTION TO APPROVE EMT-PARAMEDIC MEDICAL CONTROL CONTRACT. (ROMANOWSKI/ALRIDGE) CARRIED.

b. Resolution 2000-10 regarding congressional action on internet tax moratorium. Adm. Carlson stated this resolution was forwarded to the City from the international association asking members of the City Managers Association to ask their City Councils if it would be interested in supporting/forwarding the resolution to their federal representatives. The bottom line issue is that there is a law adopted last year (called the Internet Tax Freedom Act) basically allowed internet sales to be tax free. This law expires 2001. There is legislation that was introduced that would extend the time period for another five years. Different senators and representatives have looked at the legislation and looked at it as an opportunity to continue the growth of the internet sales in the electronic commerce. That's the positive side. The negative side is that it puts businesses that have buildings in the community that are supporting the community through real estate taxes they pay puts them at a disadvantage because they must compete with the internet electronic retailers for the consumer's dollar. The resolution expresses a public policy position on behalf of the City Council that says that the internet tax surcharge should be eliminated. The internet commerce has gotten off the ground but a policy position should be expressed stating that the internet sales tax exemption should be ended as it was originally intended in 2001. Discussion.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION. (ROMANOWSK/ ) THERE BEING NO SECOND TO THE MOTION, MOTION DIES FOR LACK OF SECOND.

8. Administrator's Report

Adm. Matt Carlson a. Paramedic Program Update Chief Swayze and Holly Arndt gave a thorough update on the paramedic program. The feasibility study was sent to the State on April 21st. They have not received a response. The next step on the State level is an open hearing. The third step is submitting a plan of operation, which is similar to the feasibility study. After State approval, they will give a report. Adm. Carlson is well pleased with the Program and the work and dedication of the Paramedic staff. b. State DNR Annual Inspection of Water Utility System Adm. Carlson stated every year the DNR comes out and does inspections of the water system. Originally, this letter was under correspondence but Adm. Carlson wanted to specifically bring this to everyone's attention. This letter speaks well of the public works staff. The water system received glowing remarks and glowing comments from the DNR; and the Public Works Department is to be commended.

Adm. Carlson reported that the meetings for the downtown parking workshop are completed. Three letters have been received thus far regarding the downtown parking report. The letters are being provided to the Council members for discussion at the next Council meeting.
