Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 25,2013 Page 19 preference early on, while also recognizing that the ideas offered by Mr. Royce offered some new ideas that didn't typically come forward from the Commission. Councilmember Laliberte noted her interest in appointing someone supporting the best interests of the entire community,not just their own interest. Councilmember Willmus stated that he had chosen Mr. Murphy and Mr. Stellmach. Mr. Stellmach for his legal background and interesting perspective, and Mr. Murphy as a longstanding member of the community and the City's Fire Department. Councilmember Willmus opined that both would be beneficial ad- ditions, and advised that he was maintaining his support for those two choices. At the suggestion of Councilmember Laliberte, Councilmember McGehee moved a friendly amendment to separate the two appointments. Mayor Roe declared the motion failed for lack of a second; returning to the origi- nal motion for appointment of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Stellmach. Mayor Roe advised that Mr. Murphy and Mr. Royce had been his choices; and advised that he concurred with the points made about Mr. Royce, and this difficult decision only served to again underscore the quality of the pool of candidates. Mayor Roe opined that the Council would go not go wrong with any of the ap- pointments, but noted that it was their job to make those difficult decisions, often influenced with a fine point,but ultimately a majority choice. Councilmember McGehee opined that Mr. Murphy was a fine choice and that she had no hesitation in accepting him for appointment, and remained optimistic that he would help in her efforts around Langton Lake. Councilmember McGehee noted that her preference was to give new people a chance to participate. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Etten; McGehee; Laliberte; and Roe. Nays: None. Mayor Roe again thanked all those who applied, opining that it was a great sign of the vitality of Roseville. b.
