the representation in place so that Council will be ready after a kick-off meeting
on the 14th.

Commission be the Chairman of the Citizen Corp Council.

doing an excellent job on sub-committee and nominated Commissioner Dailey to
represent Public Safety Advisory Commission.

Commissioner Dailey noted the only reason she did not concur with Chairman
Norkin's suggestion is that she would prefer appointing a person and not a
position. She also noted that since the Chairman is running for City Council
position, his position would possibly be left vacant should he be elected.
Chairman Norkin noted the new Chairman would then take over the responsibility
on the Citizen Corp. He inquired how the City Council procedurally handles their
appointments to their sub-committees.
Information/Communications Manager Dennis indicated it was the Council's
consensus and for continuity that a Public Safety Advisory Commission
representative be a participant on the Citizen Corp Council but did not specify
any of the officers or specific members, but felt for continuity there should be a
liaison from PSAC.
Chairman Norkin indicated he just wanted to be reassured, if someone is
appointed at this meeting, that they can be expected to be on the Citizen Corp
Council for a two or three year commitment and not for just a short term.
It was motioned by Vice-Chair Bhutta, and seconded by Commissioner Lyons to
nominate Commissioner Dailey for Citizen Corp Council appointee.
