<br /> <br /> Ms. Maddox noted she is not suggesting the group is any where near ready for a <br />draft report; she’s suggesting that if they can agree on a general framework, it will help <br />the group as they are thinking about things. Her draft was intended for everyone to start <br />formulating preliminary thoughts. <br /> <br />Ms. Kelly agrees. <br /> <br /> Ms. Maddox said the Commission is now realizing how much work is involved <br />and agrees that they want to put together the best product as they can as a <br />Commission. <br /> <br /> Ms. Maddox noted Mr. Masuda was a subcommittee member for five <br />departments: Environmental Management, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Public Works <br />and Water Supply. Mr. Mitchell is taking two of those departments, Public Works and <br />Parks and Recreation. Mr. Perry has Water Supply with Mr. Matsuda. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry asked if the Commission is going to wait for Mr. Matsuda or just do the <br />interviews individually. <br /> <br />Ms. Maddox said the process does not allow the Commission to reconstitute the <br />subcommittees at this point without some formal action and whoever Mr. Matsuda’s <br />partner is has the ability to schedule and move forward with the interview. <br /> <br /> Ms. Kierkiewicz asked if another commissioner could be invited to a meeting with <br />a department head knowing Mr. Matsuda is not able to attend. <br /> <br />Ms. Garson replied the Commission will have to reconstitute the subcommittee. <br />Ms. Kelly suggested inviting the department head to a Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Maddox asked whether the approach could be to extend invitations to those <br />five departments to come to the commission meetings rather than doing it individually <br />and going to those departments. <br /> <br />Mr. Espejo thinks it would take up too much time from their regular meetings to <br />have all those department heads come. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry’s inclination is that the individual meets with the department head and if <br />there are follow up concerns or questions, then it would be a time to invite the <br />department head to the meeting. <br /> <br /> Ms. Maddox asked Mr. Mitchell if he is meeting with Parks and Recreation in <br />October. <br /> <br />Mr. Mitchell replied he is keeping his schedule clean so his teaching duties will <br />be taken cared of. He plans on diving in on Parks and Recreation and Public Works; if <br />Mr. Matsuda can assist that would be wonderful. He wants to formally thank Ms. <br />Kierkiewicz; she did a great job on the Department of Information Technology. <br /> <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br /> <br />
