appreciates the support from the City Council on this. <br /> 3. Committees,Boards & Commissions Discussion <br /> Seals began discussion about the item, she has heard that it is a hard to get people to <br /> serve on commissions. Seals asked if alternates should be able to serve in vacant spots as <br /> part of the quorum. Seals noted that it would benefit the alternates because it would help <br /> them gain experience. Alternates are fully trained to serve so they should be able to sit at <br /> the seat during the meeting. It would benefit their training and also get them more <br /> engaged. <br /> Dankey asked if commissioners let other members know if they will not be making it to <br /> the meeting. <br /> Barnhart mentioned that we nortnally ask for attendance the week prior to the meeting. <br /> Rief asked if we need to adopt a formal policy for commission members. <br /> Walsh does not see a need to have anything formal and also mentioned that possibly <br /> making it a requirement to attend a certain percent of ineetings could be an option. <br /> Rief would like to add a term limit to Parks Commission. There was discussion <br /> regarding adding term limits to the Parks Commission and collectively the group agreed <br /> that it would be a good idea as long as the terms are staggered. <br /> Rief noted that the City has only one standing committee and in other places that he has <br /> been they have multiple committees like Finance, Public Safety, etc. Rief inentioned that <br /> it is a way to engage council at new levels. <br /> Walsh would like a Finance Committee and would like to be involved in it to get more <br /> understanding and engagement. <br /> Rief would also like to organize a Public Works Committee. Both Walsh and Seals <br /> would like to be involved with that committee. <br /> Seals also mentioned that she would like Mark Kral to come to one of the City Council <br /> meetings for a LWDC update. <br /> Meeting End Time: 5:58 p.m. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> � - <br /> , <br /> Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />
