Frates reviewed the memorandum included in the packet from City Clerk Freas. A
general discussion took place in which the members expressed difficulty in attending
summer meetings and questioned whether summer meetings were needed.
Sandahl suggested there was a definite need for pre-summer and fall meetings and
suggested meeting bi-monthly. Molloy agreed with Sandahrs suggestion and added, he
liked the flexibility of adding special meetings if needed and thought combining with
another commission could be discussed further.

scheduled bi-monthly meetings with the flexibility to schedule additional meetings as
needed. Commissioner Wortham SECONDED the motion. There were no objections.
