7. Unfinished Business
Acting City Administrator, Jim Ericson, answered various questions from members about the
city’s request to certify unpaid Administrative Offenses to property taxes.
Mr. Ericson asked if the Commission members would entertain the idea of reducing the
number of meetings being cablecast for city programming. The consensus from the members
was that would be counter to the city’s stated goals of communication with the residents and
that reduction of meeting broadcasts should not be the authority of individual commissions.
The commission also questioned Mr. Ericson regarding the status of the advisory requests that
the Commission had sent to the City Council. He stated that the Report and letters, as well as
the possibility of a joint meeting, would be on the agenda for the Council meeting on Nov. 13th.
8. New Business
Discussion began regarding the Street and Utility Improvement Program recently adopted by

the Charter.
Discussion of next months agenda included: the year-end summary letter, draft language for
Administrative Offense amendments, and a social gathering for current and past members.
