Councilmember Jacobsen commented one option available to the City Council would be to extend the task <br /> force. <br /> 1 <br /> Acting Mayor Burg stated this was her thinking as well. She questioned how the group felt about continuing <br /> their work. Ms. Fynewever commented she couldn't speak for the entire group but noted the original <br /> commitment was for six to eight months. She explained she worked to honor this commitment. <br /> Councilmember Dunsworth reported the task force had put together a list of recommendations and she <br /> believed it was now on the City Council to review this information and decide what actions should be taken. <br /> She did not want to see this task force continue into perpetuity when the task at hand had been addressed. <br /> Ms. Fynewever explained she had stepped down from the Planning Commission and would make herself <br /> available as a resource to the City Council for the ICTF. <br /> Acting Mayor Burg thanked Ms. Fynewever again for her efforts and explained the Council would have to <br /> determine what to do next. Ms. Fynewever thanked all of the task force members for their hard work and <br /> Devin Massopust for his efforts as well. <br /> Mr. McQuillan thanked Ms. Fynewever for all of her efforts and explained she did a great job leading the task <br /> force. <br /> Lotter stated a way to move this forward would be to consider a joint powers agreement with another city in <br /> order to share staff resources for a task force group. <br /> Acting Mayor Burg stated she looked forward to having further conversations with the school districts, the <br /> police department, and CPY. She wanted to see the task force recommendations considered further by the <br /> Council at a future worksession meeting. She supported the City holding an art contest for local students. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the timing and recruitment efforts that should be followed for a potential <br /> inclusive community commission. <br /> Councilmember Jacobsen recommended the right framework be input in place if a commission were pursued. <br /> Commissioner Dunsworth agreed. <br /> Ms. Fynewever suggested the Council take a whole year to recruit potential members for an inclusive <br /> community commission and that they be recruited from events held throughout the coming year. <br /> Councilmember Allen stated he did not know if it was best to wait a whole year to bring this group back <br /> together. Ms. Fynewever reviewed the tasks the Council could be addressing over the next four to six months, <br /> such as the art contest and a meeting with the DOJ. She anticipated the Council would have enough tasks to <br /> address with the recommendations from the group and through the creation of a commission framework that a <br /> year may be the right timeline. <br /> Strategic Priorities <br /> 1 This item will be addressed by the Council at their next worksession meeting. <br /> — Worksession adjourned at 6:02 pm <br />
