F. Citizen Involvement Committee--Ms. Schue stated, in regard to the opening on the Citizen Involvement Committee, that committee members ~ were appointed to staggered terms when this committee began. She .., would like the council to consider reappointing Darcy Marentette for this position since she has only served one year. She stated there will also be a review next month on the possibility of enlarging this committee from seven to nine members. Mr. Haws indicated he did not think that there was an automatic reappointment process. Ms. Schue stated she understood that but since Ms. Marentette has only served one year, she felt she should be reappointed. Mr. Haws indicated there would be two new councilors and thinks it is important that the new people be involved in this process of interviewing. Ms. Smith stated that she and Mr. Lieuallen asked that same question about reappointments and were told to follow the same process for both reappointments and new appointments. Mr. Delay stated that perhaps only Darcy Marentette could be interviewed rather than build up the hopes of other people. Mr. Haws asked when the councilors- elect would start being invited to attend processes such as this. Mr. Henry stated that they have been sent a great deal of informa- tion already and they could be involved in this process if the council desires. Mr. Hamel indicated that the council should follow the set procedure. Consensus was to only interview Darcy Marentette. G.
