Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 25,2013 Page 17 Councilmember Willmus advised that he had offered his perspective previously. Councilmember Etten echoed the previous comments of Councilmember Etten; and agreed that if appointed, Mr. Gelbach would make a good Commissioner. In his review of the current Commission and his election to the City Council that created the vacancy, Councilmember Etten noted his concern in keeping a histori- cal perspective in the membership, but opined that the Commission would not be harmed through appointment of either Mr. Klava or Mr. Gelbach. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, appointment of Jerry Stoner to the Parks and Recreation Commission for a term ending March 31, 2015. Councilmember Laliberte concurred with those comments; opining that Mr. Gel- bach was a very credible candidate and the Commission would be in good hands with either appointment.

Mayor Roe concurred advising that all applicants had been outstanding, and if all could be appointed, they would be, and all would be of great benefit to the com- munity. Mayor Roe, augmenting the encouragement of Councilmember Willmus, suggested that Mr. Klava involve himself in the Master Plan Renewal and Imple- mentation process through one of the subcommittees of that process. Councilmember McGehee concurred, opining that this was probably the most outstanding group of candidates she'd seen for any of the vacancies, with an ex- cellent group of applicants coming forward. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, appointment of James A. Daire to the Plan- ning Commission for a term ending March 31, 2014.
