City Council Minutes June 13, 2011 Page 6 their property even though they are in the urban service district and have city sewer and • water. Mayor Dietz asked the council their thoughts on whether or not those properties should be subject to the odd/even ban. It was the consensus of the council that the odd/even sprinkling ban should be enforced to residents within the urban service district on city sewer and water, who also have wells on their property, as it would be impossible to enforce the odd/even sprinkling ban. Mayor Dietz requested the council promote the City Volunteer of the Month award as he has only received a few applicants. 6. Other Business 6.1.

MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 6.2. Roles of Board and Commission Members Councilmember Motin stated some concerns when attending the previous week's Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. He stated it appeared that some board and commission members are more `hands on" and have been contacting staff members with requests. He wondered if the board and commission polity outlined the authority and role of its members and if the staff liaison should be fielding those requests and managing city staff instead. He felt that perhaps all the board and commissions should be reviewed to determine if the polity should be updated. Councilmember Westgaard stated he didn't feel the Council or staff had the time to review each board and commission and asked Councilmember Motin what specific boards or commission he felt needed review. Councilmember Motin stated the Economic Development Authority should be reviewed as well as the Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilmember Gumphrey felt the council always has the final say in things. Mayor Dietz stated he had a discussion with Recreation Manager Steve Benoit and Mr. Benoit didn't feel this was an issue . Councilmember Motin requested a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission once the Field Use Polity discussion had been finalized.
