#1 — Approval of Minutes from Special GSC Meeting of January 5, 2017:
Councilmember Aldama asked to make sure that the minute's state that any time a
board/commission makes any changes to first bring it to GSC,before staff discusses it with
the board/commission. Councilmember Tolmachoff made a motion to approve the
amended minutes from the January 5,2017 special GSC meeting. Councilmember Aldama
seconded the motion. Amended minutes approved by Councilmember Aldama and
Councilmember Tolmachoff.
#2 —Water Services Advisory Commission: Craig advised that he worked with the City
Attorney's office who provided the guideline wording for the ordinance changes. There
was a concern that the new ordinance did not state that this commission would have public
hearings, it currently states "public meetings." GSC members requested that "public
hearings' be added to the ordinance.
Councilmember Aldama wanted to confirm that the wording in this new ordinance does
provide for this commission to still talk about irrigation issues. Michael advised that the
wording in this ordinance is very broad and captures more rather than less. Michael
confirmed that anything water related can be discussed with this new ordinance.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if commissioners can be reappointed for a second term,
because it did not state that in the ordinance. It was discussed that there will not be any
term limits on this commission.Councilmember Tolmachoff questioned the staggered term
dates in the ordinance and wanted to know if we were appointing new commissioners or
keeping the current members. It was discussed to remove that portion of the ordinance
since this commission has already been established.
Ron Short agreed with the suggested changes with this new ordinance.
There was a unanimous consensus to move with the changes discussed. Michael Bailey
will be making changes to this ordinance and they will be discussed at the January 10th
Special Workshop.
#3—Request for Motion to Adiourn.
At 3:40 p.m. Councilmember Malnar made a motion to adjourn. Councilmember
