Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 3, 2019 <br /> Page 43 <br /> Commission wants more diversity. She stated she feels really privileged sitting <br /> on the Commission and was not sure if she should be on the Commission because <br /> there are people out there that need to have their voices heard and she did not <br /> know if she was doing them justice. She did not see why there could not be an- <br /> other Commission Member who is of a diverse background on the Commission. <br /> Mayor Roe thought new members could be assigned Mentor on the Commission. <br /> Commissioner Peterson stated the Commission has done that with Youth Com- <br /> missioners and thought it went well. <br /> Chair Beltmann has reached out to the new commissioners personally and Ms. <br /> Olson has given them a bunch of information to talk about where the Commission <br /> has been. She thought there were things that the City can do with onboarding that <br /> can help the onboarding process and something that is needed to be looked at. <br /> She thought there were opportunities to better engage the new Commissioners and <br /> there has been a lot of turnover but not necessarily a symptom of there being <br /> something wrong with the Commission. A lot of it has very reasonable explana- <br /> tions. She would say in terms of what was talked about at the last meeting with <br /> the vacancy is that there is a great pool of candidates that the Council has already <br /> interviewed and many represent diverse perspectives that are missing from the <br /> Current Commission and the Commission would highly recommend that the <br /> Council pick from one of those applicants. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked the Commission for coming to the meeting. <br /> Mayor Roe asked the Council, because it is close to curfew, how to proceed with <br /> the rest of the information. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte asked how much time the Council wanted to take to re- <br /> view the Priority Planning document. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if that should be moved to the June 17th Council meeting. <br /> The Council concurred to move that item. <br /> Councilmember Etten suggested ending the meeting at 10:15 p.m. and bringing <br /> Item G forward to the next Council meeting. <br /> Etten moved, Groff seconded, extending the City Council meeting to 10:15 p.m. <br /> and moving Item G to the June 17, 2019 City Council meeting. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Groff, Etten, and Roe. <br /> Nays: None <br />
