input, confer with the Human Resources director, and <br /> revise the proposal accordingly, whereupon the <br /> Chairperson can schedule a meeting in July after the <br /> permitted interaction group has completed its job. The <br /> motion was seconded by Ms. Lassiter. <br /> Discussion: <br /> Ms. Stebbins summarized that the motion is for the permitted <br /> interaction group to meet for more information from Mr. Takahashi, and the <br /> next meeting will be scheduled at some point in July for the permitted <br /> interaction group to come back and report further recommendations. <br /> The motion was voted on and carried unanimously. <br /> Chairperson Lundkvist asked whether, in doing this, it would be for <br /> 2014, such as what occurred with the Fire Chief. When would their action <br /> take effect? <br /> Ms. Stebbins advised that it's for the Commission to decide.

At <br /> some point in the past it was decided that among the officers to be selected, <br /> Chair and Vice Chair, there would also be a secretary. It's not specifically in <br /> 8 <br />
