Mr. Beets noted that with the terms expiring <br />on March 31, 2004, all were eligible for reappointment. <br />Mr. Beets noted that staff was seeking further Council <br />direction under the policy set out regarding advisory <br />commission appointments in Resolution No. 9372, dated <br />January 27, 1997, and whether written comment from <br />committee chairpersons, as well as attendance records of <br />appointees prior to reappointment, was required. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schroeder recalled a previous 3/2 Council <br />vote requiring all appointees to reapply, which replaced <br />and overruled Resolution No. 9372. Councilmember <br />Schroeder opined that the new policy would replace the <br />previous resolution, with its purpose to eliminate potential <br />long-term service on conunittees, allowing <br />Councilmembers to re-evaluate applicants through the <br />reapplication process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Maschka opined his preference for <br />returning to the policy established in Resolution No. 9372; <br />noting that committees experienced substantial turnover <br />naturally, and this policy would ensure experience and <br />continuity on commissions. Councilmember Maschka <br />recommended making minor revisions to Resolution No. <br />9372, rather than other options. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing opined his preference for appointees to <br />continue their service to the City's advisory commissions <br /> <br />Update on Citizen <br />Advisory <br />Commission Term <br />Expirations and <br />Eligibility for <br />Reappointment; <br />Authorization for <br />Staff to Advertise <br />for Citizen <br />Volunteers for <br />Various <br />Commission <br />Openings <br />
