Discuss Appointments of Commission Members 1281 Councilman Lewis stated he had requested this item to be placed on the agenda for additional discussion. He expressed the opinion that.:Council should appoint Planning Commissioners. He suggested that all people who made application should be considered by each Council member. Then each Council member would make recommendations to the Mayor. At the time of -appointment, all the names submitted to the Mayor would be posted in some manner and voted upon. Council discussed the suggested procedure at length, and questioned whether it could be im- plemented prior to the changing of the Ordinance. The City Attorney responded that the majority of the procedure was Council policy with a minor change to the Ordinance required. However, if Council wished to apply the new procedure to the upcoming Planning Commission appointments, it could be accomplished if at the conclusion of the suggested procedure, the Mayor appointed and a final vote was taken on those to be appointed. In addition, Council indicated they would like to see a limit placed on the number of terms served in order to enable more citizens the opportunity to assist the City if they desire. Following further discussion, by minute motion, the City Attorney was instructed to draft an Ordinance that would change the appointment procedure of members of the Planning Commission to reflect Council appointment rather than Mayor appointment.
