April 25, 1977
Staff presented the Report.
Motion made by Chappell, seconded by
Miller to approve the request and direct
the Staff and City Attorney to prepare
an appropriate ordinance. Motion carried.
,Staff presented the.Report.
Miller suggested that within the
Commission Composition it be designated that one seat shall be
filled by a personLunder the age of 23.
The Council discussed this possibility,
feeling that the youth should be represented on the Commission;
however, it was the general feeling that no one age group should
be designated over and above another. Appointments to the Commission
would be made keeping the balance of the Commission in mind.
Shearer did not feel that a City
Council member should be an Ex-Officio Member of the Commission
and so designa.ted.in the ordinance for same. Felt that the
liaison appointment should be made by the Council just as it is
with other City Commissions and Boards.
Shearer also felt that the ordinance
• covering the proposed Commission should only state that the
Commission should meet at least once a month at a time and place
to be designated by the Commission.
In response to question by Shearer,
Wakefield explained that the City currently has no ordinance
prohibiting a citizen from serving on more than one Commission.
