Mayor Keller appointed Jack Delay to be the initial member of the committee. D. Youth Commission--Memo distributed to Council. . Manager reviewed for Council three vacancies which have occurred on the Youth Commission as a result of unexcused absences of Thomas Merriam, David Adams, and Anne Talbott. He noted this would add three more vacancies for the Council to fill and noted it would require a motion of acceptance of these vacancies. Mr. Haws said as he understood from the memo the Commission's bylaws required removal after three unexcused absences. He won- dered if it was necessary for Council to take official action. He continued, there seems to be a continuing problem with the commissions of people being appointed and not attending, thus making it difficult for the commissions to carryon their work. He felt if the persons appointed were not going to make a commit- ment to attend meetings and work with the commissions, then they should be removed, noting the cost in time and money. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to accept the recom- mendation for removal of the three persons from the Youth Commission. In answer to a question from Mr. Haws, Manage~ responded he assumed the three persons had been contacted and their failure to attend meetings had simply been a lack of interest on their part. Mr. Obie wondered.if it could be assumed that the Commission did not have enough matters to deal with to make it important for Commission e members to attend. Assistant Manager said that was not the case with the Youth Commission, noting it was very involved. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. E. Tri-Agency Manager noted Mr.' Bradley was presently attending a Tri-Agency Policy Board meeting, and would be returning prior to the end of Council meeting to ask for Council action regarding solving the issue of a spay-neuter clinic. F. Parks Bid Award for Spencer Butte Restroom Facilities Manager noted the item would be deleted from the agenda today at the request of the Parks Department, as the bids received had been too hi gh. The item will reappear at a later Council meeting. r II. Approval of Churchill Neighborhood Association Charter--Charter distributed. Manager noted receipt of the charter by Council and said staff found everything in order in terms of the charter and representation following City guidelines. He noted one point of controversy regarding the borders of the Association, and in discussions with surrounding areas, those areas had elected not to be included. Action tOday was for approval of the charter. . 11/30/77--4 <<91.
