etc. She believed that a Study Session was warranted to discuss Boards and Commissions. <br />Ms. Ricci stated that they are an asset, are underutilized and there is not enough reporting on <br />them. She said that the study session may consist of the process for membership and how to <br />better utilize the Boards and Commission. Some commissions are really harder to man than <br />others and people are waiting in line to get on board. <br /> <br />The Mayor responded to Ms. Ricci stating that she and Mr. Sharpe had discussed having a <br />Study Session. She said that some of the Boards and Commission requires having a certain <br />expertise that has not always been provided in the past and others ask for some background <br />experience. The Mayor said that she would hope that all members of Council would recognize <br />that other Councilmembers are giving their opinions and when they are asked to vote, they <br />should feel free to vote their convictions. She said that they would schedule a Study Session <br />when possible. <br /> <br />The Mayor said that she attended the returning artist session for the Arts and Letters <br />Commission noting it was well attended. She also said that Fair U City is always looking for <br />more volunteers. She asked people to take a moment to contact her regarding a young <br />woman named Jessica Washington, a University City resident and one of her former Girl <br />Scouts at Delmar-Harvard. Jessica is at Incarnate Word Academy and looking for support for <br />being part of a people-to-people exchange in the coming year. She and her mother Bridgette <br />Washington live on Sutter. Mayor Welsch said if anyone is interested in helping this bright <br />young girl to get a chance of a lifetime, to contact her. <br /> <br />Q.
