Acting City Manager Rubenstein thanked the new appointees for volunteering for the appointed
positions, adding that having citizens involved in city government is critical to the welfare of the city. He
encouraged the Council to invite representatives from various City committees to participate in work
sessions.
Mayor Dalin stated that Council would discuss how to move forward with that recommendation at next
work session. He was glad to see new people on the boards, adding he had been asking about getting
different people on the various committees in order to improve communication in the city. Having

opportunity to learn about what is happening. City Recorder-Treasurer Roth agreed to find out if any
other committee positions were still open.
