possible volunteers that would have skills that could apply to certain situations. She
explained that not everyone has the time to commit to a Commission but would still want
to volunteer. She stated that perhaps an article could be placed in the City newsletter as
well asking for additional volunteer resources.
DesLauriers stated that it would be a great idea, but the City would need to know and
identify the skill sets they are looking to tap into.
Martin stated that this would simply help to create an inventory. She used the example
of a biology teacher that could possibly work with Public Works and his students could
gain experience while helping the City complete a necessary project.
Anderson stated that he would be reluctant to task staff and burden them with an
inventory of this nature.
Martin stated that she was starting the inventory herself and would provide her email
address as a point of contact.
Anderson stated that although he could agree with the biology teacher example, he
would be cautious of pushing this on a broad nature. He stated that perhaps the
volunteer services be solicited on an as needed basis for specific projects.
Martin reviewed some of the areas that she believed volunteer assistance would be
helpful.
Anderson stated that an issue may arise in asking people to be involved and then for
one reason or another the ultimate result is not reached thus disappointing the
volunteer(s).
Martin stated that expectations could be explained on the front-end. She stated that her
desire is simply to channel some of the skilled experts in Medina that would love to
contribute to their community.
