The Commission reviewed and discussed the number of members on the <br />Commission. <br />Chair Ficek indicated in his time on the Commission he thought it has been a <br />minority that they have actually had a full number of people. There have been <br />vacancies for the majority of the time. He likes the number the Commission has of <br />seven with four being a quorum. What he would like to see is if the Commission <br />could have an alternate member or two to have on the ready if someone leaves the <br />Commission instead of reinterviewing people. He thought this would save a lot of <br />time. <br />Member Luongo concurred and thought it would be a good idea to have alternates <br />for the Commission, but she was not sure what the City Code states as far as the <br />process. <br />Mr. Freihammer thought the points were valid and was not sure it was in an <br />ordinance but rather how the City Council chooses Commission Members. <br />Chair Ficek indicated he would like to keep the Youth Commission Member left in <br />for an option. <br />The Commission concurred on the number of Commissioners remaining at seven. <br />The Commission felt the number of meetings per year was adequate as well as the <br />two-hour meeting time. <br />Chair Ficek asked if the Commission wanted to have discussion on possible name <br />change to the PWETC. He indicated he was okay with changing the name if the <br />Commission was open to that. He noted one idea that was discussed before was on <br />sustainability and infrastructure. He thought that would work if the Commission is <br />open to the acronym SIC. <br />Commissioner Hodder wondered what the administrative burden would be if the <br />name were to change. <br />Mr. Freihammer thought if the Code was being updated it would get updated and <br />there would not be any real dollar investment involved in a name change. <br />The Commission did not care if the name changed or not. <br />Chair Ficek suggested the name be kept unless someone comes up with a better <br />name in the neat month. <br />Mr. Freihammer noted the City Council meeting start at 6pm and the PWETC <br />meeting starts at 6:30pm and he wondered if that time is appropriate or would it be <br />better to start the meeting earlier or later. <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
