Potential Action to Reduce the Number of Recreation & Park Commission Members from 7 to 5 (Discussion/Action Item) Commissioner Sonneman asked if the Commission was supposed to initiate this action. Director Lillard explained that at a previous City Council meeting they had reviewed all the Boards and Commissions and took an action vote to either combine some of the bodies or reduce the number of members. The Council asked that the decision on reducing the number of members on the Recreation Commission come back to its members for a formal action before a final decision was made. There was a feeling on the Council that the body should remain with seven members to give a bigger cross section of the community a chance to be heard. Commissioner Sonneman respects the broader part of the community having a voice; however, they have struggled several times with meetings cancelled due to a lack of quorum. Community members are always welcome to attend meetings and give their opinions and concerns, but having five members makes better sense, and that's what he would recommend. | RecreationandParkCommission/2012-05-10.pdf |
