City Council Study Session - 01124/05 Minutes - Page 17 Sports Commission; one Task Force to deal with the repair and one to determine operation and their cooperative working status; inclusion of School District and surrounding city representatives; and other regional representation. Further discussion included the potential mISSIOn of the Task Force; desire to identify other funding mechanisms and unburden the City of any subsidy of the facility; and development of a work plan from the proposed Mission Statement identified by staff and an appropriate time frame to deal with all issues and identify "out-of-the-box" alternatives. Council consensus was for Option l.a as outlined by staff in their report, for a smaller Task Force of approximately 15 members, as recommended, with the addition of Councilmember Maschka to the Task Force to provide a budget, policy and historical perspective. Further discussion included the difficulty of the decision-making process and outcomes regarding the OVAL; the role of the Council representative to the Task Force and to allow for open discussion; and whether the Chair should be selecting members- at-large due to potential bias. Further discussion included advertising for member-at-large positions through the application process similar to other Commissions with the Parks and Recreation Commission screening applicants and making a recommendation to the City Council. Staff was directed to open the member-at-large positions to the application process, with the Task Force Chair ultimately appointing those positions in consultation with the Parks and Recreation Commission. 8.
