How do you <br /> work through tile problem? <br />· t-low would you react after spending substantial time on a project only to have the City <br /> Council not accept your recommendation? <br /> <br />Councilmcmber Pearson stated that he thought it was important to ask the question what the <br />applicant thinks the duties are. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired if this was something the Committee had to handle tonight. <br /> <br />I-Iuman Resources Manager Reed replied no. <br /> <br />Councihnembcr Cook suggested that they take the two broader questions from the public safety <br />board and then take three questions related to each of the commissions. <br /> <br />ltuman Resources Manager Reed inquired if the Committee wanted her to put together a list of <br />questions roi' each of the different commissions. <br /> <br />CollSCllStlS was yes. <br /> <br />Personnel Committee/November 25, 2003 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
