He reviewed the 8 recommendations from each commission and asked that the Council approve the appointments. 9 10 Valerie Amundsen, 3048 Woodale Drive, spoke to the process followed by the City for 11 commission appointments. She believed the Council was reappointing individuals that were 12 already serving without considering new individuals for appointment. She supported the Council 13 reviewing these applications and making appointments. It was her hope that the Council would be 14 appointing the best individuals to these positions versus strictly following Commission 15 recommendations. 16 17 Council Member Meehlhause supported the Council tabling action on this item to a future meeting 18 in order to allow the Council to further discuss the appointment process. 19 20 MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Cermak.
