A. Decisions, Feedback & Information needed by staff
1. Board Re-Appointment: Public Utilities Advisory Committee: The Mayor is recommending that Ms. Jan Striefel’s position be changed from a county service district representative to a regular city board member. Ms. Striefel has recently moved into the city (1449 E 1700 S) and was interviewed February 11, 2003. Ms. Striefel will replace Mr. Gil Iker whose term expired in January 2004. Does the Council approve this recommendation?
Council approved the recommendation.
2. As discussed at the retreat, Council Members Buhler, Lambert and Love have recently had discussions with constituents from their districts regarding the proposed Open Space Trust Fund and Advisory Board Ordinance. The constituents have noted several issues that need further research and consideration such as defining as clearly as possible what open space is and the purposes for which the bond money is to be utilized. The constituents have requested that the Council delay the adoption process to allow the opportunity for additional review and recommendations from an outside consultant. They have suggested obtaining assistance from Mr. Marty Zeller with Conservation Partners, Inc. in Denver. Please see the attached resume for additional details relating to Mr. Zeller’s experience. Would Council Members approve a maximum of $1,000 for this project?
Council approved this project.
