F5 Councilman Rosselli questioned the eligibility, according to Council's policy, of the members of the Board of Building Review whose terms are to expire this month. Acting City Attorney reviewed Resolution which had set the policy and indicating a waiver of the conditions inthe Resolution, which would preclude these members from reappointment, could be made by Council. Councilman Granger moved to waive eligibility restrictions as set by Council in the case of these three members, seconded by Councilman Rosselli. Council- man Henderson expressed her disapproval of waiving of eligibility restrictions set by Council as felt they were imposed to make possible a wider representa- tion by citizens on City's commissions and boards, and also recommended that appointments be delayed to this particular Board until the new Council is ready to take action. Councilman Granger withdrew his motion. Councilman Rosselli moved to nominate Robert Cunningham for reappointment to this Board and that provisions of the restricting Resolution be waived in his instance. He stated he favors inclusion of more citizens to serve on Commissions, but that it was not always possible and also not fair to retire a willing and capable Board member. Acting City Attorney suggested action be taken to either waive or rescind provisions in the Resolution restricting reappointments before nominations be made to this Board. Motion lost for lack of a second. Councilman Granger again moved to waive eligibility restrictions on reappoint- ments to Boards and Commissions in the case of all three members of this Board whose terms will expire April 30th, seconded by Councilman Rosselli and carried on roll call vote, Councilmen Granger, Petersen, Rosselli, and Mayor Herkner voting yes,. Councilmen Bury, Henderson, and Keckley voting no (MINUTE ORDER #68-88) Councilman Petersen urged no further discussion be held concerning appointments to this Board at this meeting since schedule had been set up according to Council policies for the following meeting. Councilman Rosselli nominated Robert Cunningham; Councilman Granger nominated Norman Naughton; Mayor Herkner nominated Henry Tarratt. Councilman Rosselli requested that a progress report be made on the downtown plan, and a report on the traffic survey in progress, at the next Council meeting. Councilman Bury suggested report be made as a current status and recommenda- tion report. Councilman Henderson urged the present phase to be completed before any change recommended. (Memo 4/2/68) Councilman Rosselli moved to adjourn, seconded by Councilman Bury and carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:50 P.M. OR V HELEN C. MOORE, City Clerk
