STAFF COMMENTS
6 Schedule of Upcoming Meetings and Events of Interest
Director of Library and Recreation Susan Andrade-Wax announced that two of the
regular members of the Park and Recreation Commission’s term s expire at the end of
the October 2020. If either of the two commissioners would like to continue they would
need to reapply and go through the process of being reappointed. If they did not
choose to go through the process, this would be their last meeting.
Ms. Andrade-Wax asked to discuss the current schedule of going dark in December and
having a meeting in November. Ms. Andrade-Wax noted that if we did not have anyone
appointed in November she recommends going dark in November and having our
meeting in December. In December we would be back to discuss the Recreation fees
and we would have a full Park and Recreation Commission appointed . At time we
would also be able to elect the chair and vice chair and set the calendar for next year.
Ms. Andrade-Wax asked for a thumbs up from the Commission who agrees to go dark
in November, and everyone agreed. The next Meeting date would be December 17,
2020.
Commissioner Reisinger asked if we would be able to elect Chair Jones as Chair of the
Commission again. Ms. Andrade-Wax replied that yes if he reapplies and gets selected
again to serve on the Commission he could be re-elected.
Chair Jones announced that he would not be reapplying, and this would be his last
meeting.
