Mr. Beard: I move for approval. Mr. Shepard: Second. The Chairman expressed his concern about the matter of certain appointments. After a short discussion, Mr. Wall: You could approve it with the provision that Section 1 dealing with the appointment be changed in whatever fashion you want it stated. I Mr. Russell: Instead of actually having an appointed authority, you could do it by deleting the first two paragraphs of that section and say "that the 911 Committee shall consist of _.." and list the representatives and then at the end of that "or his or her designee" as appointed by that person. I Mr. Shepard: We could say "the committee will consist of the following members or their designee" and strike "the City Administrator shall appoint. . ." Mr. Chairman: I don't have a problem with that. Mr. Beard: I will amend the motion to that. Maybe it needs to be looked at by Jim and you and the Captain to make sure the language is correct.
