She indicated Council would like feedback as <br />to whether special meetings should be included as part of the board and commission <br />attendance policy. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wagner explained the Planning Commission was in favor of not <br />including special meetings as part of the policy. She stated she agrees special <br />meetings should not be included in the policy as it can be difficult to accommodate <br />last minute meetings with work and family commitments. Commissioner Blesener <br />concurred. <br /> <br />President Tveite indicated he has mixed feelings. He feels like special and regular <br />meetings should be treated the same. He would like to see the policy track some <br />form of excused and unexcused absences. Commissioner Ovall concurred. <br /> <br /> <br />
