Further brief remarks. Mr. Chris Caldwell, Director, Parks and Recreation Department and Mr. Christopher Schmidt, Director, Community Development Department explained what their plans were. Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that he could forward complaints that he had received to the City Manager, and thought the other Commissioners could do the same. Commissioner Jean Hovey asked that should this happen, would additional Members be added to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee or would the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Members be absorbed? Mr. Caldwell stated, "Absorb and the natural attrition would take place, but we would combine the groups together and the natural attrition is where some folks don't want to get reappointed again - choose not to be reappointed and then it would slowly reduce that number to where it's more of a manageable group. They would be absorbed." CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY OCTOBER Commissioner Hovey then inquired if Staff had contacted the Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, to which Mr. Caldwell said they had not yet, as they wanted to advise the Mayor and City Commission first.

In terms of enforcement, Chief Deisler said that the Police could be called regarding any issues in the City. Remarks followed on possibly including a flyer in water bills and the associated costs. Manager Boyle asked if the City Commission would consider letting Staff first try an online campaign.
