He indicated that Larry Farber was appointed and <br />questioned whether Larry Farber had submitted an application. He indicated <br />that he felt it was unfair that he had to follow the City's policy inn submitting an <br />application and being interviewed for the HRA, when Larry Farber, who was <br />appointed, did not have to follow City policy. <br /> <br />Mayor Duitsman indicated that Larry Farber was apPointed to the HRA by himself <br />as HRA members are Mayoral appointments subject to Council approval. <br /> <br />Larry T oth questioned whether the Council has to abide by the policies set by the <br />Council. He further requested the City Council to negate the appointment <br />recently made and to leave the matter open until the situation is resolved. Mayor <br />Duitsman indicated that the City's Attorney would review the policy and report <br />back to the City Council on January 30. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Gene Schuldt, Chairman of the HRA, indicated that he was informed that the <br />reason Larry Toth was not reappointed to the HRA was because it was important <br />to have Council representation on the HRA. Gene Schuldt indicated that there <br />already is Council representation on the HRA as the Mayor is a member of the <br />HRA. Gene Schuldt endorsed Larry Toth for the HRA as he felt Larry Toth had <br />many more years of experience than Larry Farber. He further indicated that he <br />hoped the City Council would reconsider their action on this issue and consider <br />following City pOlicy for all Boards and Commissions. <br /> <br />The City Council recessed at 8:25 p.m. and reconvened at 8:33 p.m. <br /> <br />7.1.
