scheduled for the next day when they would be discussing the future of the
commission, so City Council directed staff to contact all the candidates and invite
them to attend that meeting. Staff was also directed to prepare a report documenting
the outcome of the meeting, to be presented at the City Council meeting of February
4, at which time the City Council would decide whether to disband the commission or
to make new appointments.

Tamara Pow. Council appointed Jeff Payne, Tamara Pow, and incumbent Charles
