Councilmember Musgrove commented on the length of the different terms and suggested Michael for the two-year term, Rachal for the three-year term and Will for the six -year term on the EDA. Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he would support that but suggested placing Will in the three-year term and Rachal in the six -year term. Councilmember Musgrove commented that she would stand with her recommendation on terms. Councilmember Heineman agreed with the reappointment to the EPB. He stated that he agrees that Will should have the six -year term, Rachal for the three-year term and Michael for the two- year term on the EDA. Councilmember Riley commented that there is a history of people not fulfilling the full EDA terms, therefore there is turnover on that group. Mayor Kuzma confirmed the consensus of the Council to support the reappointment of the EBP member and for the EDA to appoint Michael to the two-year term, Rachal to the three-year term and Will to the six -year term. Councilmember Riley asked if the Council supports the reappointment suggested for the Planning Commission and confirmed the consensus of the Council to reappoint Ms. Gengler to a four-year term. Councilmember Riley suggested reappointing Ms. Leistico to the Park & Recreation Commission and liked Ms. Moore for the Parks & Recreation Commission. He recognized his earlier comment that he would prefer not to have someone serving on multiple Boards. Councilmember Heineman noted that Ms. Moore also serves on the Charter Commission, so if appointed to the Park & Recreation Commission she would serve on three different Commissions. He stated that he did like Ms. Moore for the position but would not want to deny someone the opportunity to serve to support someone to serve on multiple Commissions. Councilmember Riley stated that he would suggest moving Ms. Moore from the EPB to serve on the Park & Recreation Commission. Councilmember Musgrove noted that Ms. Moore stated that she did not want to be taken off the EPB. She stated that she would then prefer to choose a different candidate and provide them the opportunity to serve. Councilmember Howell stated that perhaps the EPB and Park & Recreation Commission could work more closely together on some issues rather than appointing Ms. Moore to the Park & Recreation Commission. Administrative Services Director Lasher commented that Ms. Moore's term on the EPB expires in one year. City Council Special Work Session / March 16, 2021 Page 3 of 8
