Committee <br /> of the Whole As you are all aware, participation by our citizen members on our committees <br /> ceased several months ago. Many things have caused this, which I hope to address <br /> in the proposed amendments to Section 2-10. I am recommending that each <br /> Stephen Luecke committee have two citizen members, and that each citizen member be allowed to <br /> First District vote. I am further recommending that the Council President serve on all <br /> committees, but only be allowed to vote in the event of a tie. I am also suggesting <br /> Donald Niezgodski that the citizen members be sent copies of all meeting notices to committees which <br /> Second District they are members, as well as copies of all resolutions and ordinances coming for <br /> review and recommendation. <br /> William Soderberg <br /> Third District I believe that such amendments would be positive in nature and provide a far better <br /> Ann Puzzello reflection of public input on various issues brought before the committees. I also <br /> Fourth District believe that if a citizen is willing to donate their time to serve on such committees, <br /> that they should be entitled to relevant information as well as have the right to vote. <br /> Linas Slavinskas <br /> Fifth District I look forward to discussing this proposed ordinance with you, and welcome your <br /> questions and comments. I believe it will strengthen and improve what I believe to <br /> Thomas Zakrzewski be a strong committee system. <br /> Sixth District <br /> Sean Coleman Sincerely, <br /> At Large <br /> Loretta Duda <br /> At Large Linas "Lee" Slavinskas <br /> Fifth District Councilmember <br /> Eugene Ladewski <br /> At Large <br /> Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand <br /> Council Attorney <br />
