211 The Commission reviewed and discussed the number of members on the <br />212 Commission. <br />213 <br />214 Chair Ficek indicated in his time on the Commission he thought it has been a <br />215 minority that they have actually had a full number of people. There have been <br />216 vacancies for the majority of the time. He likes the number the Commission has of <br />217 seven with four being a quorum. What he would like to see is if the Commission <br />218 could have an alternate member or two to have on the ready if someone leaves the <br />219 Commission instead of reinterviewing people. He thought this would save a lot of <br />220 time. <br />221 <br />222 Member Luongo concurred and thought it would be a good idea to have alternates <br />223 for the Commission, but she was not sure what the City Code states as far as the <br />224 process. <br />225 <br />226 Mr. Freihammer thought the points were valid and was not sure it was in an <br />227 ordinance but rather how the City Council chooses Commission Members. <br />228 <br />229 Chair Ficek indicated he would like to keep the Youth Commission Member left in <br />230 for an option. <br />231 <br />232 The Commission concurred on the number of Commissioners remaining at seven. <br />233 <br />234 The Commission felt the number of meetings year was adequate as well as the <br />235 two-hour meeting time. <br />236 <br />237 Chair Ficek asked if the Commission wanted to have discussion on possible name <br />238 change to the PWETC. He indicated he was okay with changing the name if the <br />239 Commission was open to that. He noted one idea that was discussed before was on <br />240 sustainability and infrastructure. He thought that would work if the Commission is <br />241 open to the acronym SIC. <br />242 <br />243 Commissioner Hodder wondered what the administrative burden would be if the <br />244 name were to change. <br />245 <br />246 Mr. Freihammer thought if the Code was being updated it would get updated and <br />247 there would not be any real dollar investment involved in a name change. <br />248 <br />249 The Commission did not care if the name changed or not. <br />250 <br />251 Chair Ficek suggested the name be kept unless someone comes up with a better <br />252 name in the neat month. <br />253 <br />254 Mr. Freihammer noted the City Council meeting start at 6pm and the PWETC <br />255 meeting starts at 6:30pm and he wondered if that time is appropriate or would it be <br />256 better to start the meeting earlier or later. <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />Page 11 of 89 <br />
