Ms. Hart explained that the Economic Development Commission was able to interview only one of the candidates, therefore, they are postponing any recommendation to fill their vacancies until the January meeting.

Motion carried: Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beahen, Beyer, Peterson and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Ms. Hart then explained that the terms of Planning Commissioners Terry Hendriksen, Paul Holland and Michael Terry all expire on December 31, 1995. Paul Holland has declined m-appointment which will create a vacancy on the Commission. The Planning Commission has recommended that the City Council re-appoint Mr. Hendriksen and Mr. Terry to a term to expire on December 31, 1997. It was also the desire of the Commission to advertise to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Holland. Mr. Holland has agreed to serve until a replacement is appointed.
