He said it has always been the elected Mayor's task to make the recommendations to the Boards and Commissions, with the advice and consent of the Council. If the members of the Council feel that the appointments are inappropriate they have the obligation not to ratify those appointments. He believed that diversity on the Council enriched the City.
