[Vision2020] City Council Assignments

[Tom Hansen]

Thank you, Dan -

 

I know that I speak on behalf of a vast majority of V2020 subscribers when I
say, "Thanks for keeping us informed."

 

I only have one question (maybe two).

 

How were these committee assignments made?

 

Were they discussed, and voted upon, in an open forum consisting of a quorum
of city councilors?

 

Were they discussed behind closed doors in the absence of sufficient
councilors for a quorum?

 

What qualifications does each committee chair possess to qualify him to
chair that committee?

 

My primary concern relates to an open forum consisting of a quorum of city
councilors making such important, impacting decisions.

 

If these appointments were made, as Council President Bill Lambert suggests,
in a quasi-official meeting lacking sufficient council members to qualify as
a quorum, why?

 

These "appointments" were presented by Bill Lambert at Monday's city council
session without as much as a discussion.

Once again, thank you, Dan, for keeping us informed.  May we hear from you
always.

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Visionaries,
I didn't make it to the City Council meeting last night.  I slipped on the
ice in my driveway and hurt my hip. Anyway, I watched the meeting on my
computer but due to a streaming/buffering problem on my end I didn't hear
which Council members were assigned to Committees/Commissions.  Anyone know?
