Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2017 Page 9 As referenced by Councilmembers Etten, Laliberte and Mayor Roe, Coun- cilmember Willmus opined as the "why" or "purpose" aspect of a combined commission was critical but entirely up to the City Council. To be clear, Mayor Roe advised that the City Council nor the City Council Sub- committee on Commissions was intended to set up the work plan for either group; but only to provide guidance from the top to retain focus for both the CEC and HRC work plans going forward. While some things may be overlapping or of lower or higher focus, Mayor Roe opined that the City Council was not in a posi- tion to dictate that beyond providing clear guidance. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember Laliberte reported that both CEC Commissioners Chelsea Holub and Michelle Manke had expressed their continued interest in seeking reappoint- ment to the CEC. Laliberte moved, Willmus seconded, reappointment of CEC Commissioners Ho- lub and Manke to terms on the CEC and beyond. Councilmember Willmus recognized CEC Commissioners Holub and Manke in tonight's audience; and when asked if they remained interested after this discus- sion; both verbally indicated their affirmation. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. Given separate work plans being considered by both the CEC and HRC at their upcoming future meetings, City Manager Trudgeon asked that the City Council Subcommittee on Commissions attend those meetings to provide follow-up in- formation, as well as the follow-up information that he would provide to both commissions. Mr. Trudgeon advised that he would begin work on a draft revision to city code and other organizational details as indicated. Mayor Roe suggested that a couple of commissioners from each commission be selected to focus on this combined commission for meeting with the City Council Subcommittee; and asked that City Manager Trudgeon check with them accord- ingly. Councilmember Laliberte agreed that it would be helpful for the CEC and HRC to self-identify several of their members to work with her and Mayor Roe.
