not a Mayor decision. He favored naming three City Council members on an interim basis and then ask for applications from the public and perhaps schedule interviews of those interested. The Manager indicated that the staff would like to see Mr. Westling reappointed. Mr. Delay indicated he felt this was a very important Commission and would be an ongoing future body providing basic services for the community. His feeling was that Mr. Westling would be a good member, one Council person should be appointed, with perhaps interviewing of a citizen from the community for the third member. . After considerable discussion as to whether the Mayor or the Council should appoint the members to the Commission, Assistant Manager indicated that unless the Council takes the affirmative action to appoint then the appointment remains with the Mayor. Mr. Haws indicated he felt that in order to follow the democratic process and to avoid favoritism and elitism, the procedure of using citizen interest forms and an interviewing process would be best. Mr. Delay indicated, again, that he felt this was an immediate problem. This is an important Commission and has to have consistency and continuity in functioning and it was necessary to have representa- tives at the next Commission meeting. He felt it would be best to appoint a person who has shown interest, for instance Mr. Westling, and one Council member, and then use citizen interest forms for the third appointment. Mr. Lieuallen indicated that perhaps Mr. Westling and two City Council members could serve in the interim, and he also indicated that he felt there should be some term of office inserted in the contract.
