AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Consider creating a Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Sustainability.
Justine Thompson and Cody Deem were present to discuss this item and to answer questions from the Commission. Both are members of Sustainable Shawnee, but view the establishment of the new committee as advisory in nature rather than an advocacy group. Their desire is to assist city staff with research and to keep sustainability issues before the City Commission.
Commission Harrod expressed a concern regarding the group’s written objective of “to co-ordinate sustainable activities in Shawnee by acting as liaison between the City Commission and the citizenry.” Commission Harrod felt that a liaison will not be needed as it was the City Commission’s duty to keep citizens informed. Commissioner Sims expressed concern regarding this group’s role in future economic development within the City. Mayor Peterson listed areas in which she felt the group would be beneficial, those include the areas of water conservation, the Trails Master Plan, the solid waste trash contract and recycling issues.
After further discussion, the matter was referred to staff to meet with the members of Sustainable Shawnee to obtain more information regarding the functions of this committee. Staff will bring this matter to the Commission for consideration at a future meeting.
A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Commissioner Collier, to table the consideration of creating a Citizens’ Advisory Committee on Sustainability until a later time. Motion carried 7-0.
AYE: Harrod, Collier, Winterringer, Holt, Stephens, Sims, Peterson

A motion was made by Commissioner Sims, seconded by Commissioner Winterringer, that Resolution No. 6358 be approved. Motion carried 7-0.
AYE: Sims, Winterringer, Holt, Stephens, Harrod, Peterson, Collier
NAY: None
Thereupon Mayor Peterson declared Resolution No. 6358 duly passed and adopted.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Consider Agreement with the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center for Jail Services.
City Manager Brian McDougal explains the proposed agreement. Staff met with PCPSC director Sid Stell recently to negotiate the current contract.

A motion was made by Commissioner Sims, seconded by Commissioner Collier, to approve agreement with the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center for Jail Services and to commend Brian McDougal for his efforts to control cost. Motion carried 7-0.
