Council Member LaNae Millett asked to discuss the agreement because it has no stated end date. City Attorney Steve Earl said the end language is in section two, the joint board's powers are limited to meeting state filing deadlines, and any expansion would need approval from all four councils. Council Member Jenn Gale was appointed to the joint board.
