1. Board/Commission Appointment Process
City Manager Cruikshank provided background information on the current board and
commission appointment process.
The Council discussed the appointment process, possible new procedure for the
appointments, having a set written policy for the board/commission appointments and how
the city recruits residents for the appointments. The Council consensus was to have staff
review what other City's Board/Commission appointment processes are and to bring the item
back to a future Council/Manager meeting.
2. New Brookview Super Bowl Opportunity Discussion
Parks & Recreation Director Birno presented the staff report and said a local marketing
group would like to rent the new Brookview and surrounding property for up to nine days
during the 2018 Super Bowl. He reviewed the possible revenues that this would generate
and the impact it may on regular facility patrons. City Manager Cruikshank answered
questions from Council regarding the Brookview opportunity.
The Council discussed the opportunity and the consensus was to move forward with
contracting with the marketing group to rent the facility during the week of the Super Bowl
and for Parks and Recreation Director Birno to negotiate with the group and to bring the
contract back to Council for their approval.
3. Future Council/Manager Meetings
The Council discussed which meeting to bring back the immigration discussion to and when
to add a discussion on 2018-2019 goals. City Manager Cruikshank proposed adding the
immigration discussion to the September 12 Council/Manager meeting and the 2018-2019
goals discussion to the October 10 Council/Manager meeting. The Council consensus was to
move forward with the proposed dates.
The meeting adjourned at 8:44 pm.
