City Council Rules and Communications Committee <br />June 16, 2008 <br />Page 4 <br />CITY COUNCIL RULES AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE <br />Excerpts from Highlights <br />May 17, 2005 and June 15, 2005 <br />May 17, 2005 <br />2.b. School Board Representatives to Recreation and Parks Commission <br />City Manager John Jermanis provided the history on the School Board representative <br />positions on the Recreation and Parks Commission.

Committee Member Badger pointed out that the <br />Recreation and Parks Commission representative position seems to be a duplication of <br />effort, since the District Superintendents receive information directly from the City and <br />School Board liaison committees. <br />Mr. Jermanis suggested that the matter could be brought to the City and School Board <br />liaison committees for discussion. <br />June 15, 2005 <br />1. Continued Discussion Regarding Appointments to City Boards and Commissions <br />The Committee reviewed the suggested revisions to Section XV-Boards and Commissions of <br />the Council Members Handbook and made additional changes. <br />City Manager John Jermanis addressed the subject of the School Board representatives to the <br />Recreation and Parks Commission and suggested some alternatives to the present system of <br />
