Vice Chair Hodder indicated he would be at the meeting. <br />Member Mueller indicated she had a conflict and would not be there. <br />Member Cicha indicated he was not sure yet if he would be able to attend the <br />meeting. <br />Chair Ficek indicated he could make a presentation for the Council. <br />Chair Ficek asked the Commission what they feel is the value of being on the <br />Commission and how can that be expressed to the City Council. He also thought <br />what is important to discuss with the City Council from the rubric is what would <br />be next for the PWETC, what are the important things the City Council is hearing <br />and where does the Commission go from there. <br />Member Mueller thought that was a great idea She indicated she was trying to tie <br />this back to when Mayor Roe came and talked to the Commission and what <br />direction is the Council going with the Commission. It seems like the Council is <br />trying to better define the entire purpose of the Commissions. <br />Chair Ficek thought that was a part of it and that the Commission needed <br />direction.

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