nominate committee members
for council approval. He will
consider a recommendation
from Universit\ President Paul
Olum on who will till the Uni

Miller said "Ms initial rear

fine the way they are Hut since
I’ve been mayor. I've seen the
tremendous time drain of this
job on the mayor even more
than tlu1 count ilors I think I've
become pretty neutral on the is
sue. and that’s why I want
there to be a people’s 1 ommit
