Scott <br />Simpson submitted written comments regarding the Utility General Fund transfer. Mary <br />Shelton spoke regarding transparency and the role of the City Manager, City Attorney, <br />and City Council regarding financial accountability. <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />It was moved by Member Lee and seconded by Member Pope to approve the minutes <br />of the meeting of June 20, 2011, as presented. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Member Tyrrell arrived during the following item. <br />INTERVIEW WITH COUNCILMEMBER GARDNER <br />Councilmember Gardner commented on the Charter requirement that boards and <br />commissions have a member from each Council Ward where, as a result, appointments <br />to have become essentially political appointments. The timing between the general and <br />run -off elections is too lengthy and should be reviewed. He supports the Mayor being <br />granted a vote but does not support the Mayor appointing City Council Standing <br />Committee Chairs. He does not feel that changing to a strong Mayor form of <br />government or ending the Ward system are appropriate or necessary. The Ward <br />system works well for Riverside. <br />1 <br />
