Removing this section would not limit <br />170 <br />the Commission. <br />171 <br /> <br />172 <br />Commissioner Carey stated the Council had felt the Civility Training the Commission did last <br />173 <br />year would be something that City Staff could do and they would like to see this training done <br />174 <br />again. This would be something the Commission could work on then hand it off to Staff to <br />175 <br />continue implementing for City Staff. <br />176 <br /> <br />177 <br />Chair Groff stated a program like the Civility Training would need to be approved by the City <br />178 <br />Council because of the on-going cost. <br />179 <br /> <br />180 <br /> <br /> <br />
