Before voting on the Consent Agenda, Commissioner Harrod requests that Consent Agenda Item No. 2(f) be pulled for separate consideration.
A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to approve Consent Agenda Item No. 2(a-e), less (f), as presented. Motion carried 7-0.
Regarding agenda item 2(f), Commissioner Harrod was not in agreement with the change in the committee structure. He stated that the number of positions being proposed did not reflect what was decided at the January 19, 2010 meeting. Commissioner Harrod requested that one Shawnee Twin Lakes Association nominee be stricken, one Commissioner of the Land Office lessee be stricken and the lake at-large position be eliminated.
Vice Mayor Stephens inquired as to whether the Committee was to be a long-term advisory committee or an ad hoc committee. Commissioner Sims responded that he viewed it as a short term advisory committee for the purpose of helping the Planning Department with the lake issues.
Commissioner Harrod made a motion, and was seconded by Vice Mayor Stephens, to adopt the committee as agreed upon at the January 19th meeting and to establish an ending date for the Lake Committee of September 30, 2010.
City Manager Brian McDougal stated that he was not sure that the entire scope of work of this committee could be accomplished in a six month time frame. Commissioner Sims stated that he was pleased that more people had volunteered to serve and be willing to assist with significant issues. Commissioner Sims urged Commissioners to vote “no” on Commissioner Harrod’s motion.
Commissioner Harrod stated that it is harder to get things accomplished in a large committee. Vice Mayor Stephens agreed the committee needs to be smaller and more focused.
It was the determination of the City Attorney John Canavan, the additional positions added since the January 19th meeting could not be voted on at this meeting. The agenda does not reflect a motion to amend the previous Commission action.
Commissioner Harrod and Vice-Mayor Stephens withdrew their Motion and second.
Commissioner Harrod made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Sims to appoint the following persons and positions to the Shawnee Twin Lakes Committee:
Shawnee Twin Lakes Association representative: Russ Adams
Commissioner of the Land Office Lessee representative: Julie Akerman
