Councilperson Lichty suggested that the committee dissolve since they have not met on a regular basis nor have made recommendations to the Mayor for said appointments. Councilperson Seeber stated that he would provide all committee members with a list of all appointments that will be made to the Council between now and January 1 , 1986.
