The commission would be under the direction of an executive committee chosen from the membership and consisting of the chairman of the commission and not More than two vice chairmen All of whom shall receive their original appointments from the City Council. A we recommend that the Bicentennial commission be viewed As a two facet body with a primary three year planning term and a final three year execution term. There would be Edmund a Basuino no objection in fact it would be desirable for most if not All of the original members to serve both on the planning and on the execution bodies. We also recommend that the commission be allowed to grow to its authorized size during the first term. For that reason we recommend that the Council appoint an Init we Bicentennial commission of not less than ten members including the chairman and head of the executive committee. This commission would be responsible for the recommendation to the Council during its primary term of the names of additional members that it would recommend to be appointed to the commission.
