Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
(1) Appoint a Councilmember to the Energy Committee; and,
(2) Consider appointing Council alternates to City committees and outside
committees.
Background
At the last Energy Committee meeting on Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 10:30 a.m., Mayor
Benson asked to be replaced as one of the Council liaisons to the Energy Committee.
During my meeting on Friday, May 6, 2011, with the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, the
Mayor Pro Tern asked if the City should have alternates for all appointments.
Please see the attached list of Council appointments. A majority of Council committees
and outside committees do not have established alternates.
Conclusion
It is important to appoint another Councilmember to the Energy Committee, as important
decisions/recommendations will be made in the near future.
