Action on Possible Changes to Committee Member Application Form
Following discussion of the handout provided to the committee based on questions asked
before the meeting, Combs motioned two concepts be added to the letter sent to committee
chairs at the beginning of year:
?
The letter should let the chairs know that they may contact any appointment committee
member to share their ideas regarding individuals that should be appointed or
attributes they would like to see represented on the committee.
?
The letter should state that if a chair knows of a city resident that would be well suited
for committee service that the chair is encouraged to invite the person to volunteer by
completing an application form and to let the citizen know to mention his or her contact
with the chair on the form.
Riemer seconded the motion and the vote was 4-0-0 in favor.
