Les Earnest, member of the Pathways Committee, concurred with Mr. Woolsey's comments. He had served on three committees over the last ten years and there was never a full committee. He too believed that experience was important and helpful. Richard Lamparter, 12864 Viscaino Road, suggested adding associate members if a committee was full and then moving to full membership as senior members completed their terms. Duffy Price, member of the Community Relations Committee, concurred with Mr. Woolsey's comments. She also recommended a clear definition of terms and evaluation of committee members and reappointment once term was completed. Evan Wythe, member of the Utility and Information Systems Committee, supported term limits. He believed change was good for the community. • July 20, 2000 Regular City Council Meeting 6
