It was suggested that the individual who <br />suggested this goal should be contacted and asked to serve on the <br />committee. The Council also determined that an article should be <br />included in the City's newsletter seeking committee members. <br />The Council and City Administrator discussed the various opportunities <br />for citizen involvement within the City. <br />7 <br />
