This item was pulled by Alderperson Daul. He asked to separate the alderpersons and department heads from the citizens as he feels it is not fair that the Council was never presented more than three names from the citizens. He was asked his opinion on the Council members, but not on the citizens and he’s not sure where the names came from. Mayor Bostedt stated that the names of seven citizens who were interested in being on the ad-hoc committee were given to Don Nerenhausen because the formed the original citizens’ group that came to speak to the City. The Council voted on the composition of the committee, but at no time said that they wanted to choose the citizens. After this meeting there will be a meeting of the ad-hoc committee.

Zahn asked if the alternate members would be appointed as alderpersons or citizens. Perrizo replied that they will be alternates for the alderpersons. Zahn pointed out that Daul will no longer be on the Council after the April election and wondered if someone else should be appointed. Mayor Bostedt opined that two alternates should be fine.
