a) Consider Approval of Invoices To Be Paid - see

b) Consider Approval of Parks Advisory Committee
Appointments. On Friday, October 19 and
Monday, October 22, Mayor Andren, Parks and
Recreation Director Mangan, and City Manager
Unmacht conducted interviews for two Parks
Advisory Committee vacancies. These vacancies
were the result of two original appointees'
resignation from the Committee, Michael Crowe
and David Foster.
The Committee interviewed five individuals,
Marty Gores, Daniel Wehrs, Ed Fisher, Craig
Gontarek and Ron Ceminsky. All individuals
would be excellent additions to the Committee,
however, the Interview Committee believes that
based on the current makeup of the members and
the ideas put forth by the applicants, that
both Ron Ceminsky and Daniel Wehrs would be
the most appropriate additions to the
Committee. The Interview Committee recommends
that Ron Ceminsky and Daniel Wehrs be
appointed to the Parks Advisory Committee to a
full three year term. with the addition of
Ceminsky and Wehrs this would bring the
Committee to its full capacity of eleven
members. A motion as part of the consent
agenda would be in order.
c) Consider Approval of Bob Robbs Registered Land
Survey (RLS) - see attached staff report.
d) Consider Approval of Change Order No.1,
Project 88-21 - see attached staff report.
