She noted the City had one opening for a non-student Commissioner role with <br />the Public Safety Commission and had two people interested in filling this position. She indicated she was told <br />there would be an opening on the Equity Commission as well, but noted this position would be filled in the <br />future. She requested feedback from the Council on how to proceed with the Public Safety appointment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth stated given the attendance records, there may be several commissioners not <br />invited back to the Public Safety Commission. For this reason, she suggested the open seat be offered to the <br />person who can attend the meetings, and in the future a vacancy could be offered to the other individual. <br /> <br />Councilmember Axberg supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas asked if the Council could appoint one now and hang onto the other candidate for the <br />future. Massopust recommended the Council appoint one individual to the Public Safety Commission at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth noted the Council would be making appointments to Commissions or Committees <br />again in six months.
