City Council Meeting Minutes October 6, 2015 Page 6 of 26 Council member Loo inquired whether the two ex officio members would be voting members. She felt it was important for Council to determine whether those two members were voting members. Mayor Muckle stated generally the Task Force would be voting by consensus, but had no problem with the two ex officio members having voting rights. Council member Lipton stated the original concept was the ex officio members would be non - voting. There was some question whether the Youth Advisory member would be able to make the time commitment, but it is still important to capture their input. With respect to the Senior Advisory Board member, it's important to capture their input, but they are still able to represent the senior community. Council member Leh understood the argument for having non - voting members, but stressed the importance of the Youth member having a vote. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 68, Series 2015, with the amendment of two ex officio voting members, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. All were in favor.
