Review of Volunteer Handbook Mr. Fortner presented the staff report. He asked the Council for feedback. Mr. Fortner stated that the next step would be to bring volunteer coordinator candidates to the Council for review. He explained that typically the volunteer program is managed by the Parks and Recreation Department and he would propose that in this situation. Councilmember Westgaard questioned if the language under Confidentiality was written by our attorney. Mr. Fortner stated that it was. He added that most volunteers will only be working with public data so he does not think this will be an issue. Councilmember Motin outlined some wording changes he would like to see made to the handbook. He expressed concerns over the cover letter and how it relates to the chain of command. He suggested removing the part that tells volunteers to go to the Mayor if necessary. The rest of the Council was agreeable to leaving the cover letter as is. 6.3. Planning Item Updates/Intersection and Boulevard Design Mr. Barnhart presented his staff report. Mr. Leeseberg presented intersection and median layout options. Councilmember Westgaard questioned if improvements should be made to the intersection of Main/Highway 169 if an overpass is planned in the future. Mr. Barnhart stated that his recommendation is to move forward with the intersection improvement because the overpass is unfunded and is likely many years out.
