(See Exhibit A Council Short Minutes of December 16, 1992 and Exhibit B - Council Communication of December 16, 1992 Meeting.) After a lengthy discussion by the Commission on pros and cons of each number membership, it was the opinion of the entire Commission that there was no major or monumental reason for enlargement of the Commission at this time.

Mr. Robert Johnson, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, will be in attendance to additionally discuss the Commission's position on this item should Council want same.

District and State Conferences, and meetings that pertain to the Parks and Recreation endeavors and business. A figure of $3,000 should then be added to the Parks and Recreation Administrative budget.

TO: Rgbe;t JobasoniJJChairman -Varka-and-Recrsstion Ccamission FROM: Philip A. Pennino, Mayor DATE: December 30, 1992 stw; Possible Rxpansion of Parks and Recreation COMIMiasion As you are aware, the terms of two members of the Parks end Recreation commission are up at the end of this month. In an effort to fill those positions, an announcement was made in the newspaper and applications were taken from those interested in serving on the commission. I —tat say that I was impressed by the number of applicants. A total of eleven individuals applied. These eleven (including the two current members) were each interviewed for appro imately one-half :lour. At the end of those interviews I realized there were a lot of people who could add a great deal to the scope of the Parke and Recreation program for Lodi. In that regard, I requested of the City Council at our December 16 meeting that we consider expanding the Parka and Recreation Ccmmission to seven members. As the City of Lodi and the area that the Parka and Recreation Department services expands. I believe there is a need to broaden the eommiasion. he Parks and Recreation Coomissicn plays a key role is the overall City organization. I aote that two other key commissions, the Planning Commission and the Senior Citizens Commission both have seven members. At your January mating would you please discuss the pros and cone to this possible expansion? I would appreciate a response so it can be put on the agenda for the City Council meeting of January 20.
