Ms. McGovern said yes. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman said she did not intend to change the appointments to the <br />School District Liaison Committee. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern indicated that she would be interested in being appointed to the <br />Economic Vitality Committee or the Zone 7 Liaison Committee. She was concerned <br />about what appointments the councilmember elected in June would be given. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman indicated that the council assignments to local and regional <br />boards and commission could be revisited in June 2005 when that councilmember is <br />seated. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern believed Mayor Hosterman needed to have trust in her fellow <br />councilmembers that they will represent the community. She recognized that there is a <br />learning curve for new councilmembers, and she believed she could be a positive <br />member to any committee in which she is appointed. She believed Council needed to <br />do a better job of reporting back to the community and each other about what occurs on <br />each of these committees. She believed that council assignments to local and regional <br />boards and commission should be distributed equally, particularly when the new <br />councilmember is elected in June 2005. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman said she tried to be as fair as she could in appointing <br />representatives to serve on internal Council committees and on regional boards, <br />commission, committees and joint powers authorities. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sullivan pointed out that there are certain duties and responsibilities that <br />come with being Mayor. He believed some latitude should be given to the Mayor to <br />make these appointments. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern was concerned about the where the fifth councilmember would fit <br />into the assignments to local and regional boards and commission. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman said it is important for each Councilmember to have a <br />roadmap of what each of its expectations is for the foreseeable future. She noted that <br />there would be an opportunity in the future to make adjustments. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern said she would support ratifying the Mayor's appointments if <br />Mayor Hosterman would spend some time reviewing the council assignments to local <br />and regional boards and commissions and bring the matter back to Council for further <br />discussion. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman said she would be willing to review the list of assignments to <br />consider making adjustments and to bring this matter back to Council for discussion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sullivan indicated that he would be willing to give up his appointment as <br />alternate to the Tri-Valley Transportation Council if Ms. McGovern were interested. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern said she would like to be appointed as the alternate to the Tri~ <br />Valley Transportation Council. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 10 12/07/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
