Ite. number 8 Hotlon (or City COuncil Appointments I'll list Ihe currant positions
I guess I( anyone has any ~''pr ~Ints some swllchlng done I don't think any
work has boen done on Ihls II r r tlma so. We currently have on Ihe legislative
c~lttee Larson, Ambrlsco and McDonald.
I would like to bo on Ihe legislative cOlmlttee.
I would like to be.
Ambrlscol I would like to be.
Courlneyl And h, did too?
McDonaldl Well, I( there Is some Interest. I don't have a problem doing somelhlng dl((erent
really. I'Ve boon on It (or a numbor o( years.

Hot necessarily?
Hot necessarily. In past years that has happened but It deesn't.
What's wrong wllh having (our members?
Well It consltutes a majority then.
But still that has to be a all the moetlng
You have to attend those mootlngs anyway.
I attend them and do minutes but wo den't have a roll call or anything.
If there would be a'vote taken or anything It would just be Informal worksesslon
that would constitute a majority.
We have certainly had moetlngs with tho loglslators that other Councllmombers have
attonded without tho commltteo mombors being there. In (act I would say the
past few years Its been moro often then not that Ihere has been a majority at luast
a majority of tho Councllmombers.
It so much work to do and someone needs to keep tract of, I have no problem
with four peoplo.
If you like to appoint tho four thon we could cortalnly do some research If there
Is a problem wo could make one an alternate too.
Okay, so wo'll have Kubby, Larson, Ambrlsco and HcDonald on tho Legislative
Commlttoe. Rulos COmmittee wo havo had HcDonald and Ambrlsco.
You've been doing a fino job.
HcDonaldl That's my favorite commltteo.
Courtnoyl Roappolntment thero? ANyone want to challenge?
Civil Defense Commission, Susftn has Indicated an tntfrest In being reappointed
thero, Anyone want to challenge that?

COurlnoyl Okay. Johnson County Council of Gover~nt has beon overyono except KcOon.ld

KubbYI I would like to.
CourtnoYI Okay. John.
KcDonaldl That's fine.
HcDonlld .nd Courlney NIII be .llern.tes then,
low. CltY/Cor.lvllle COnvention 8ureau Ih.t h.s been .Ine. I ~y look for
someone come July on Ih.t bul currently I'. on the Executive Commltteo .nd
tre.surer Ihero .nd Ihey don't ch.nge their officers until July .nd It NIll
be . bit unwolldy 10 try 10 put someone else In there currently but If
.nyone's Interested In th.t seo ~ .bout th.t .nd we'll t.lk .bout It for July.
C~llleo on Community noeds, Kubby?
I feel fine .bout st.ylng Nllh th.t.
Anyone eho?
Tho only question I would r.lse on Ih.t .nd .g'ln I don't h.ve strong feollngs
on that one N'y or .nother. TIlls parllcuhr committee .ppolnlmont NU .dded
six ye.rs ago, I guess I'. Just wondorlng If we N.nt to continuo to h.ve this
.s a specific committee appointment as a Councllmomber to this one bo.rd or
commission. I guess I never fully understood why Ne did th.t,to this one
commission and not to tho other ones. Obviously NO all havo tho opportunity to
attond any board or commission moetlng that NO Nant to. Again I don't havo
strong feollngs one Nay or tho olher.
Tho only reason I would speak for keeping It Is that C08G funds ma) be used
for CI~S Issues and NO might Just Nant to make sure Ihat we'vo got someone
whelher Its lIIC or not to go and keep tract what CCN Is doing Nlth that as
well as their role Is expanding a little bit allhough NO may not.

Who know's, It matlers what good Job Cltlzons do lobbying tho fodor.l government.
The re.l quostlon Is how aro wo to malnt.ln..,....
I guoss this Is . IItt10 bit dlffo'ent from, know that you say that Karen
that I was thinking maybo tho dlffbrenco belween this commlssslon and some of the
other ones Is they do deal with a gro.t sum of money. Obviously we do havo ffnal
authority on how that monoy Is allocated but It Is the one commission most of
the recommendations th.t wo recolvo aro for policies or procedures or whatever
that caso may be but this Is actually disbursement of money. So, I don't c.ro
I Just wantod to r.lso a question.
I think Its good to ro-ovaluate thoso things every so often.
So If wo w.nt to keep It as a Council Committe appointment th.t's fine,
Okay. Anyone else havo feelings on that. Okay, we'll reappoint Karen to that
commltteo then. I guoss that's all the committees.
Hr. Mayor can we havo a motion for that?
