The Election Commission Attendance Report for 1987 was discussed. This report
will be furnished to City Council on a quarterly basis during 1988 as Council
had requested in 1986. It was explained that all boards and commissions
complied with the quarterly reporting of attendance. As the Election
Commission does not have a regular meeting schedule, reports had not been
submitted to Council on a regular basis. Member Crow stated that the City
Clerk's office would endeavor to comply with Council's instructions.
