15 determine the expectations of the Commission.

with regard to this proposal which would promote a closer relationship between the Council and
it Commission. Cavanaugh stated a similar arrangement might be made for the Parks Commission.

39 matriculate to higher education. He added this is an excellent statement for the City's
educational standards.
