1 SUBJ: Reconsider Commission Appointments , Councilman Geving
1 Although Councilman Geving has asked that this item be placed
under Council Presentations, staff would additionally wish to
comment.
1 During our Council/Staff conference, various goals were set as to
how we would improve the selection process for our commissions ,
1 communicate Council roles/expectations to commissions , and
recieve feedback from the commissions as to how they see their
roles/responsibilities . I firmly believe that we will be able to
accomplish these goals in 1988 . However, it was my observation
1 that we attempt to start this process with the selections of two
weeks ago. The process to delay those appointments has created
confusion for existing commission members who are reading into
1 that action something more than exists. I think that the goals
of the Council are good but, again, premature for our 1988
appointments. I would ask that the City Council reconsider their
decision of two weeks ago.

SUBJ: Board of Adjustments and Appeals Appointment
The Zoning Ordinance creates the Board of Adjustments and
I
Appeals . Unlike the Planning Commission or other advisory com-
missions, the Board of Adjustments and Appeals is governed by the
requirements in the Zoning Ordinance and not a set of bylaws .
II
The Zoning Ordinance provides that the City Council shall appoint
members to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals on an annually
basis with a term beginning in January and extending until mem-
bers are reappointed. While the ordinance does not stipulate if
II
a member from City Council should site on the Board, it has been
Council policy to appoint one of the Council members . The
Council has the following options :
1 . Advertise for the three positions .
I 2 . .Reappoint the existing Board of Adjustment members (Willard I
Johnson, Carol Watson, and Dale Geving) . All have indicated
their interest to continue on the Board of Adjustment for
another year. I
The City Council should also appoint an alternate. Currently,
Mayor Hamilton has served as the alternate.
1 RECOMMENDATION II
1 The City Council should act to either reappoint the current mem-
bers and alternate or instruct staff to advertise.
