COMMISSION AGENDA "COORDINATE A MEETING DATE WITH THE COUNTY AND SCHOOL BOARD AS PER OUR INVITATION OF DECEMBER 12, 1974, AND THEIR ACCEPTANCE LETTERS OF DECEMBER 17, 197 AND JANUARY 8, 1975." (Sponsored by Commissioner Losik) Commissioner Losik said, "I think that after receiving the two letters, the tone of those letters indicated that there was some interest and definite interest by the County and the School Board to see if something couldn't be worke out. Now at this time of the year, time gets away from all of us because this wa placed on the agenda in October and I would hope that we could suggest perhaps th 5th or 6th of February to hold a preliminary meeting, and at that preliminary meeting I would recommend that two elected members of the County, the School Boar and the City Commission meet to outline the program suggested and then make their recommendations back regarding procedures and so forth in future meetings. Now because time is of the esscence and this could take additional time to coordinate these dates and get started, I'd further suggest that we approve this and send a letter out tomorrow over the Mayor's signature and see if we can't get started on this; 'cause three months has lapsed already." Commissioner Losik so moved to set the meeting date. Commissioner Caldwell seconded the motion. Commissioner Weisgerber said, "I was looking at the suggestion Dr. Schu r had. He was suggesting a Commissioner and the City Manager in our case, himself and one member of the School Board, in that you would include, I think, the staff as well because they know the general present practices. We need a staff person of some kind, I would think." Commissioner Losik replied, "Yes, what I was going on Jack, is that we would definitely have to refer many of these things to the staff, but this was just to lay some general ground work and get the thing going, then definitely the staff must be included in these things because they do know the mechanics of it and would be called upon to administer it. This was just to get it started. If they want to bring a staff member this would be alright." Mayor Usher called for a vote on the motion. Ayes: (5). Nays: (0).
