172 173 Vice Chair Hodder indicated he would be at the meeting. 174 175 Member Mueller indicated she had a conflict and would not be there. 176 177 Member Cicha indicated he was not sure yet if he would be able to attend the 178 meeting. 179 180 Chair Ficek indicated he could make a presentation for the Council. 181 182 Chair Ficek asked the Commission what they feel is the value of being on the 183 Commission and how can that be expressed to the City Council. He also thought 184 what is important to discuss with the City Council from the rubric is what would 185 be next for the PWETC, what are the important things the City Council is hearing 186 and where does the Commission go from there. 187 188 Member Mueller thought that was a great idea She indicated she was trying to tie 189 this back to when Mayor Roe came and talked to the Commission and what 190 direction is the Council going with the Commission. It seems like the Council is 191 trying to better define the entire purpose of the Commissions. 192 193 Chair Ficek thought that was a part of it and that the Commission needed 194 direction.

All of the different facets of what the Commission does and all of 205 the things that people do not see. To him, that is what is important. 206 207 Chair Ficek thought with only four members being at the meeting, he wondered if 208 questions could be sent to the Commissioners to get answers back to staff to 209 provide an update to him to present at the joint meeting. 210 211 Member Mueller thought that was a good point because the Commission could 212 provide an update on high-level topics the Commission has reviewed over the past 213 year, but the City Council already has that information. She thought Chair 214 Ficek's idea would bring another layer to this. She would also like to point out 215 how wonderful the staff was because City staff always bring so much to the 216 Commission and show what is happening throughout the City with the pillars that Page 5 of 7 Page 7 of 97
