COUNCIL LIAISON REPORT
Councilmember Carmody reported that the Council is interested in setting up joint meetings
with each of the Commissions during the next few months. An October joint meeting with the
Parks and Recreation Commission will be investigated. Chair Sorenson asked Councilmember
Carmody to speak regarding a June 6 memorandum from the City Manager regarding "conflict
of interest" of Commission members who are also employed by the City in some capacity.
Chair Sorenson felt having employees on Commissions could actually be of benefit as these
members not only know the needs of the community, but also know how programs and
services are provided.
Councilmember Carmody indicated that current Commissioners would be allowed to serve out
their terms according to the new policy. Mayor Kragness added that this decision does not
stem from any current "conflicts," but is intended to avoid any in the future.
