Your proposed revision is attached; thank you for revising it for me! There is one more change I want to see. I want the recommendations to go from the Mayor's office directly to the city council for approval, by-passing the nominating committee. The Mayor would select and recommend directly to council. This is inline with the desire of the nominating committee. Their chair, Bob Stafford, is on copy. If you could make that change for me, I will get it in Civic Clerk.
