He questioned whether City Council should make decisions for the Park and Recreation <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum indicated that it is a moot issue and that the Commission needs to move <br />forward and attempt to work together. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere agreed with Commssioner Ostrum in the need to move forward, although <br />he feels the Commission should express their disappointment on record with the way City <br />Council has handled this issue. <br /> <br />Commissioners Ostrum and Skinner concurred that integrity is the main issue. <br /> <br />Co-Chair Johns voiced that the Commissioners may be taking the situation too personally. <br /> <br />Commissioner 0strum took this time to personally welcome Commissioner Droegemueller to the <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Droegemueller replied that business is business and that it is not a reflection on <br />the Commission, but possibly what direction the Commission should be going. He feels that <br />Commissioner 0strum's point of view is the correct one and that it is valid to feel disappointed <br />and to let the City Council know. <br /> <br />The concensus of the Commission was to move forward. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/March 14, 1996 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
