Mounds View City Council July 8, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 21 City Attorney Riggs indicated he had discussed with Ms. Reed setting out parts of the Bylaws. Council Member Thomas indicated a section that adds information on the process would clarify. Mayor Sonterre suggested adding "to the City Council" where the description speaks to making recommendations. City Attorney Riggs said that would be fine. Council Member Thomas said she thought doing so would further confuse the overview. City Attorney Riggs indicated that Council has the ultimate authority over the appointment but not over the process of determining the list of appointees. Council Member Thomas said she felt it was necessary to find a way of explaining this to someone who is not educated as to the process and said she does not want to change the statute part of the language. Council Member Quick said he thought it should stand the way it is that way the Commission knows it has absolute authority over its portion of the process and, when their portion of the process is completed, then it is handed over to Council. City Attorney Riggs indicated he could add a separate paragraph. Council Member Stigney suggested adding "subject to Council approval." City Riggs indicated it is not Council approval it is Council appointment. Council Member Thomas indicated there should be a paragraph between overview and primary responsibilities that says once the duties are done it is passed on to Council. City Attorney Riggs indicated he would add a statement indicating that once certification of the roster is completed it would then go to Council for appointment. 8. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS A.
