Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 24, 2014 Page 30 Councilmember Laliberte noted that she did not originally list Mueller, but con- curred that all were great choices, and she had also included Klick and Simon in her tally of choices based on their interest in the business community. Coun- cilmember Laliberte, being unsure how far the Housing & Redevelopment Au- thority (HRA) had yet to reach out to the business community and how to dele- gate that responsibility to the CEC, expressed her interest in the CEC keeping that group in the forefront, especially in light of those two candidates with that busi- ness interest not being appointed. Councilmember Etten expressed appreciation for that perspective, opining that Mueller would push the envelope well for the CEC with a track record of getting people organized and engaged; and with one year terms, and some perhaps re- newed for whatever reason at that time, he encouraged Klick to reapply at that time. Mayor Roe recognized Councilmember McGehee's perspective in attempting to get new people involved, but also noted an advantage and benefit of the task force was getting Gardella involved. Mayor Roe opined that he would hate to eliminate participation in that situation and by having shorter terms for some heavily in- volved in the task force, it was up to the City Council to make that determination at the end of those terms.
