<br /> -. <br /> . I <br /> ,.f <br /> . I <br /> ". <br /> Mr. H. Marshall Peter spoke in favor of the appointment of Mr. <br /> Gray, citing his commitment to the Commission, his expertise as a e <br /> member of the Architectural Barriers Council, and his personal <br /> knowledge since he uses a wheelchair. <br /> Mr. Haws asked that the appointments be separated in the motion. <br /> Ms. Smith declined, saying that City Code allows non-residents to <br /> serve. She said the Council has been concerned by the turnover <br /> on the commissions and the dedication level of the commissioners. <br /> Since there is no qualified resident applicant and since Mr. Gray <br /> has shown great dedication, Council Subcommittee felt he would be <br /> a good appointment. <br /> Mr. Haws felt that residents should be appointed to the City <br /> commissions and, if there were no applicants, perhaps Council <br /> should re-examine whether that particular commission was necessary. <br /> Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Ms. Miller, to segregate each appoint- <br /> ment to the Handicapped Commission. <br /> Ms. Miller said she approved of the separation of each appointment <br /> for voting purposes, but that she would vote for Mr. Gray. While <br /> she recognized that appointing people outside the city was unwise, <br /> she noted the difficulty handicapped people had in serving on <br /> commissions. <br /> Motion defeated 4:2, Haws and Miller voting aye. e <br /> Motion to approve the appointments carried 4:1, Mr. Haws voting no. <br /> 4.
