year term). Squire seconded the motion and the vote was 5-0-0 in favor.
Discussion and Possible Action on Volunteer Application Changes
Smith requested the Committee consider removing the ‘any committee’ option from the application
form. Citizens would still be able to volunteer to serve on any or all of the city’s standing committees.
Removing the “any committee” box would require the volunteer to actively review each committee
option and actively select the ones he or she is interested in. The consensus of the Committee was to
remove the ‘any committee’ option from the application. The group also decided that they wish to no
longer receive paper packets of the agenda materials; instead, they wish to receive an email with
PDF files.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 2:59 PM.
These minutes are not official until approved by the Citizen Advisory Committee on Appointments.
