ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS—RESOLUTION NO. 6481 <br /> Loftus stated before the City Council tonight is a draft resolution for the annual appointments. The newly <br /> elected officials have been added. Loflus noted one of the bigger changes is that Gabriel Jabbour will be <br /> the new LMCD representative. <br /> McMillan noted the Park Commission chair is new and that she would like to add Rick Meyers' name to <br /> that position. <br /> Walsh stated he does not have any issues with appointing what the City has currently proposed but that <br /> going forward he would like to re-examine a few of them. Walsh stated he would like to re-examine at <br /> some point the appointment of Ken Potts as the City's lead prosecutor. Walsh stated in his view the City <br /> has received poor service and that he would like to see that changed in the future. <br /> Walsh stated he also noticed there is a memorandum dated December 11 that says, per the request of <br /> Mayor McMillan,letters were sent to request bids for the area newsletters. Walsh stated it is his hope <br /> going forward that the City does not request to change vendors and then in the same breath say,because <br /> you have not done this for me, I am going to go out and reanalyze the bids. <br /> Page 16 of 19 <br />
