.,, involved approximately 2 8 miles of asphalt paving, he also reviewed ,
by name , the streets included in the project With regard to Item

A-6 Tentative Parcel Map AT 810722 1 , 4605 Carrizo Road , Ralph Brink
(Hilliard) , to subdivide 5 28 acres into two parcels of 2 5 and
2 68 acres each
Councilman Highland noted that 2 5 and 2 68 acres do not add up to
a total of 5 28 acres The total was changed to 5 18 Councilman
Highland stated that he has noticed a recurring statement in Planning
memos to the effect that "a number of lots in the vicinity are under 2
1 /2 acres 11 He wondered if this condition was being used as justifi-
cation to approve less than 2 1 /2 acre lots Mr Stevens replied
that the statement was an observation due to the General Plan provi-
sion that consideration be given to the type of lots in an area when
considering lot size and requests for splits or subdivisions

B HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
1 Report by City Manager on commission selection procedures
Mr Warden reviewed his memo to Council outlining several proce-
dures Council could consider for use in selecting commission members
He noted that the City Attorney felt that the Council has acted appro-
priately in their past selection process
COUNCILMAN STOVER WAS PRESENT AT 7 50 p m
Mayor Wilkins felt that the Council was satisfied with the re-
cruiting and interview process currently in effect He was in favor
of selecting commissioners one position at a time Councilman Mackey
disagreed, she felt that the selection process should be the same as
when citizens go to the polls , with all candidates being voted for at
one time Councilman Nelson suggested that Council put their names on
a piece of paper and write their selections , not necessarily in order
of priority, and the City Clerk could then read the Council member ' s
name and the candidates each had voted for
Comments were heard from Ted Munson and Dorothy McNeil
Council decided to proceed with the same recruiting and interview
process , but that the voting procedure would require that each Council
person to put their name on a ballot which would also identify, by
name, the candidates for whom they were voting If more than one po-
sition was open , they would list their choices for whatever number of
vacancies existed
MOTION Councilman Highland moved that Staff be directed to prepare
a resolution incorporating the guidelines discussed The
motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously
carried
Councilman Nelson thought that perhaps Council could discuss the
candidates generally after the interview before voting There was
discussion about this proposal , Councilman Highland thought that the
discussion should occur before the interview process when Council
�r could discuss candidates ' planning philosophy
C UNFINISHED BUSINESS

monthly verbal reports to Council at Council meetings

month was too often Mr Warden stated that the Council will be re-
ceiving copies of Departments ' monthly reports which may answer some
of Councilman Nelson ' s questions

ports from the Department Heads

presentation once every two months on what is happening in
their department The motion was seconded by Councilman
