D. Hashin said he will be settling the account with the Hyatt Hotel
within the next week or so and will try to obtain similar financial
rates/arrangements for next year.
POA OFFICE: E.N. Evenson asked for a status report on the POA Office,
which has not progressed any since the site was obtained. Discussion
held. R. Reinhart said the expenses were supposed to be shared between
the POA and the POF. It was agreed that a timeline report would be
prepared by the Office Committee at the January Regular Meeting.
SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT: R. Reinhart said that the proposed "Side Letter
Agreement - Health and Other Insurance Benefits Between the City of

the City's Side Letter Agreement at the Special General Membership
Meeting held on November 13, 2003.
DEPARTMENT REQUESTS: Topics included - Traffic Bureau minimums/
Specialty Selection Process/ FTO Selections - Discussion was held.
Traffic Bureau minimums: Agreed to the reestablishment of them, but
should not be included with patrol minimums and there was concern for
fiscal impact with overtime back filling.
