Mr.Hoffman stated that this Committee already has non -City residents as members,but they were not appointed by Council,and the reason for having Council appoint the additional members was to elevate the visibility and to show the Council's wish for more involvement.

Mr.Alexander replied that the City may take a role in attemping to organize those out -of -city committees,as long as Council does not appoint those persons.

Vice Mayor Bakkedahl added that the Council should not appoint individuals as they may be selective,but simply request input. City Clerk Kathleen Connelly read the Statute where all ad -hoc and advisory committees of public bodies must comply with the Open Meeting Law. Mr.Mike Pegram,1564 N.Boyd, Apache Junction,a resident within the zone of influence,suggested that Councilwoman Perkins,as liaison to zone of influence,coordinate viewpoints from those interested persons for presentation to City officials.
