To Waive the Reading and Approve Ordinance 678 <br />(Planning and Zoning), an Ordinance Amending City Code Language Relating to Council <br />Liaisons to Boards and Commissions. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />G. Adopting Resolution 5518, Appointing Board and Commission Members. <br /> <br />Assistant to the Administrator Reed explained Resolution 5518 appoints representatives to the <br />various Commissions within the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he had received several telephone calls concerning the <br />appointments and suggested Council may need to look at the appointments a little more closely. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre explained in December he had drafted letters to all the members of the <br />Commissions to inquire as to whether they wished to continue service on the Commission they <br />were serving on or, in the case of those commission members with expiring terms, the letter <br />inquired as to whether the commission member would like to reapply.
