[C1]The PZ currently operates with only one alternate. Who decides to fill or leave empty? How long do they have to choose? We have been serving with 6 for some time.

[C2]Brandon wonders if term limits are needed. Mark Lynne says to let City Council choose.

[C3]Is there a rush? Right now we do not even have a second alternate.

[C4]Brandon recommend that this table and the same one that is in 12.40 be removed and relocated at the end of 12.10 General Provisions
