City Council Minutes Page 4 <br />December 9, 2002 <br /> <br /> Park and Recreation Commission for 15 years. With his term expiring on February 28, 2003, <br /> the current ordinance would not allow him to be reappointed. She indicated that he has <br /> much knowledge of the history of City park and recreation development as well as much <br /> experience in recruiting and working with park volunteers and that it would be a mistake not <br /> to reappoint him. <br /> <br />Following discussion of this issue, it was the consensus of the City Council that it would be <br />more appropriate to revise the ordinance to allow people outside of the City to serve on city <br />commissions, but allowing the Council to give preference to Elk River residents who apply. <br />The Council directed staff to review the ordinance and to bring the issue back to the Council <br />for discussion when the City Attorney is present. <br /> <br />6.2.
