That's a great idea!
Saving money on commissions?
Councilmembers Dona Spring and Kriss Worthington backed proposals made by various commissioners to have commission members or disinterested parties, such as university students, take meeting minutes to spare staff members.
City Manager Phil Kamlarz said the city couldn't rely on volunteers to take meeting minutes or notice meetings because state law required a high level of consistency and if the volunteers failed to meet state standards the city could be held responsible.
I suppose that's one objection. Another is a more practical objection, which asks the question: "How are you going to get disinterested parties, such as university students, to volunteer to work for free in what's possibly the most boring job to ever exist, especially if you're disinterested?"
