Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, February 10, 2014 <br /> Page 34 <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that these items had been removed or replaced <br /> elsewhere. <br /> Item L <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that she saw no point to include Item"L." <br /> Councilmember Laliberte opined that she had no strong feeling, other than ensur- <br /> ing that the volunteering and visioning remained in the scope, there would be no <br /> need to address them elsewhere. Councilmember Laliberte clarified that her pur- <br /> pose of originally suggesting including that language in the scope was to avoid <br /> these other details. <br /> Councilmember Etten opined that "volunteering" should be addressed more <br /> broadly in the scope. <br /> Mayor Roe suggested bringing the notion of volunteering into Item `B", and rec- <br /> ommended doing so. <br /> Discussion included making the distinction that volunteering was not specific to <br /> civic governance (e.g. serving on a board versus serving in the community at <br /> large). <br /> Mayor Roe suggested returning to the language of Item `B" later in this discus- <br /> sion. <br /> Item I <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that this language was too specific. <br /> Mayor Roe spoke in support of the staff language about using latest trends to en- <br /> gage; however, he noted that it may already be addressed more broadly in one of <br /> the other items. <br /> Councilmember Etten suggested that the intent was that the commission be aware <br /> of and knowledgeable of those things, but to focus on best practices nationwide as <br /> part of their research and recommendations. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that some of that language had been repeated in <br /> the new suggestion on the last page; and if the consensus was to strike this item, it <br /> could still be addressed in those proposed new items. Councilmember Laliberte <br /> advised that her intent with this section was to replace the training conference as <br /> originally recommended by staff and incorporate it into training already in place. <br /> Mayor Roe questioned if training was desired, as he heard the community and <br /> staff, and thus his problem in making the distinction. <br />
