Report of Standing Committees: Pathway Committee - Mrs. Cindy Hettinger, Secretary. Mrs. Hettinger addressed the Council with a request that the Council give support to those citizen volunteers who give a great deal of praiseworthy effort to working on the Pathway Committee. She noted that the Town's pathway system because of such efforts was "fantastic and unique." She noted that she was responding to a proposal by the Town to merge all committees into one large committee, and also inquiring about the need to take action on expiring committee terms. In discussion that followed, it was noted by Mr. Crowe that the Staff had been directed to make recommendations on the Committee system, stating that this had been scheduled for the September lst agenda for further discussion. Mayor Cheney noted the need for some action, and Cauncilman Grabowski noted that the Council did not have the Staff memorandum before them. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: It was moved by Mayor Cheney and seconded by Councilman Grabowski that the present membership of the Committees be maintained, and that tenure be extended through the month of September. AYES: Councilman Brown, Grabowski, and Mayor Cheney. NOES: Councilwoman Hillestad and Councilman Proft. ABSTAIN: None. Mr. Giller Vinedo Lane stated that it was unfair to ask people to continue on uncertain tenure without a clear-cut statement of confidence on the part of the Council. Council should reappoint them for a term and then reorganize. Councilman Grabowski stated and Mayor Cheney agreed, that the City Manager should circulate the memorandum for the proposed reorganization through the committees before the next Council Meeting so as to have comments available. Mrs. FiksdalPathwa Committee Chairwoman noted that responding in time for t e ep em er s mee ing might De somewhat difficult for her committee.
