an important advisory committee."at a study session without notice or being on
the agenda. She also felt that someone with more experience should have been
appointed in order to help the Planning Commission during this most difficult time
facing the commission with general plan amendments, new zoning ordinances, etc.-
on- motion of Councilman Dunin,.seconded.by Councilman Munger, that. - Randall L. Bullock
be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Planning Commission for a term that

and Mike Deneve, also felt .that.the.membership_..of.,the Planning..Commission should
be reduced-to five (5) persons in order to.expect..better attendance and more
work to be accomplished. He concluded. -that -the subcommittee recommended that as
of 7/1/81, the Planning Commission be reduced.to five members, with appointments
.to.be made by the City Council after the usual application procedures.
Councilwoman Billig stated she agreed in-principle-with-the recommendation.of the
reorganization of the Planning.Commission.. But,.she..felt the City Council should
look to all of the council's advisory bodies,. including:.the operational.handbook
which has been delayed for.several months.. She.-also felt new ordinances enabling
legislation should be adopted.for..each and every committee, including length of
service, terms, conditions of attendance,. etc. She stated the council had just
gone through a 2 -year review of advisory board duties and - responsibilities, attempting
to get terms, duties, etc., clear.up, and now the..council_is.going. through it
again on a..board -by -board basis. She:felt.the..City Council should sit'down and
look at all .the structure, responsibilities and memberships.of all their advisory
boards and come up with a standard membership, tied to their responsibilities
and their operational handbooks.
City Council then held.a lengthy discussion-on-the overall.quality and.competence
of.members.of the council advisory boards and discussed how_best to-get the
advisory board system under better control so that they would be more supportive
of the City Council and staff and less.going..off.on their own.

that the subdivision agreement adopted.by the.Council on-March 4, 1980 required
