To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5710, a <br />Resolution Appointing Mark Pothen and Mike Szczepanski to the Park and Recreation <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if both appointees had submitted current applications. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that Mr. Szczepanski had not submitted a new application but had <br />expressed the desire to be reappointed. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the Planning Commission was required to provide a new <br />application before being reappointed. He then indicated he felt the appropriate protocol would be <br />to require a current application before appointing him. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney suggested a friendly amendment to remove Szczepanski from the <br />Resolution and not appoint him to the Park and Recreation Commission until he has submitted a <br />current application. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre and Council Member Quick accepted the friendly amendment. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />9.
