• Rules & Procedures. The GRTF reviewed the cover letter to Mayor &
Council, as prepared by Town Clerk Kathi Cuvelier, which addresses the
approved Town Council Parliamentary Rules & Procedures and Code of
Conduct so that each Board/Commission could establish their own rules
by adapting or modifying the approved Rules & Procedures in order to suit
the scheme of their Board/Commission. Don Dvorak motioned for
approval of the cover letter, with revisions, to each Board/Commission.
Seconded by Vice-Chairman Kriegh. Motion carried 4-0.
• Appointment Process. Chairman Loomis suggested that because all of the
various appointment processes reviewed appear to work and one option is
not any better than the next, the GRTF should present to the Mayor &
Council a packet of all of the materials gathered thus far so that they may
make an informed decision concerning which process to employ. Vice-
Chairman Kriegh felt that it would be satisfactory to present the
Appointment Process Outline which includes such points as the term of
office, the membership requirements, etc. Richie Feinberg thought that if
Option B was employed then the "new blood" may not have a fighting
chance to volunteer. Don Dvorak hoped that the solicitation/application
process would not be over-turned. Chairman Loomis proposed language
for an enclosure letter to the Mayor & Council as follows:
