It is expected that a preference be given to city residents, but <br />residency by itself shall not be disqualified. <br />Motion carries 5-0. <br /> <br />The commissioner’s primary concern is to seek clarity from the city attorney if they can vote on facility rates <br />if user groups representation is removed, and they have better-defined conflicts of interest for any of the at- <br />large members. <br /> <br />Page 160 of 197
