City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting Minutes <br />November 29, 2006 <br /> <br />Council Member Lakso inquired about police monitoring for vandalism to the abandoned <br />building. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson responded that the Police Department was aware of the <br />building being vacant. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Terway, seconded by Council Member Lee, to approve <br />Resolution #06-051, Certification of City Services (Lawn Mowing) at 7111 Brian <br />Drive ($63.90 + $50.00 Certification Fee = $113.90) All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />6. Appointment to Fill Vacancy on Planning and Zoning Commission – <br />Recommendation (Darrin Mosher) <br /> <br />Mayor Capra requested the Legal Counsel’s report. <br /> <br />Legal Counsel Glaser reported that practice and ordinance were two different things and <br />that it should be made a practice to follow ordinance, commenting that Council is the <br />boss of its advisory committees. He said committee members could be chosen in several <br />ways and the only offices set were Clerk, City Administrator, Engineer, and Legal <br />Counsel, and offered to provide handouts from the League’s manual should Council wish <br />to review. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra commented that Centerville does not follow practice as other cities and <br />never sees the candidates. She expressed concern that people were being added to the <br />Commission to make recommendations and Council didn’t know anything about them. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee stated that committees were given ability to recommend their own <br />members. <br /> <br />Council Member Lakso said a flag went up for her when the recommended candidate on <br />the ballot didn’t get the position and that she would like to give that individual a chance. <br />Council Member Lee responded that he knew the recommended person and described his <br />background. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated her concern was not to negate any candidate’s experience but rather <br />to allow due process, that Council should take time to get to know candidates applying <br />for committee vacancies. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee said Mr. Mosher was the only candidate who took the initiative to <br />show up at the Planning and Zoning Committee meeting. Council Member Lakso <br />responded that any candidate who puts his/her name on the ballot would be expressing <br />initiative. <br /> <br />Page 10 of 16 <br />
