4.c) City Council Committees for 2012 Meeting Date: 2/14/2012 Agenda item: �/ �, 1 l` J City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209`�' St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Discuss City Council Committees, appointments and possible changes for 2012. Deadline/Timeline: N/A Background: • Each year the Council has appointed some of its members to various committees. The Committees have varied based on the needs of the city at the time. For example, for several years The Council appointed members to the Comprehensive Plan Committee, which was disbanded when the project was complete. Another example would be the committee that worked with the Fire Department on updated governing documents and policies a couple of years ago. • In 2012, Council members were appointed to committees as follows: Human Resources: Schneider and Amos Parks Committee Liaison: Swanson Planning Commission Liaison: Ness Zavoral PAC Liaison: Ness (PAC has completed its work) Capital Improvements Simonson and Schneider Committee: Forest Lake Cable Commission: Simonson(already reappointed to new 2 yr term) Recommendation: The Council should discuss what committees would be most useful and effective in 2012, and which members should be appointed to them. In 2012, the Council appointed a Human Resources Committee,but chose to discuss almost all personnel-related issues as a full Council. And while 2 members were appointed to the Capital Improvements Committee, other members also attended (even as many of the citizen appointees failed to attend any meetings.) You may wish to discuss whether or not some change to the structure or membership of certain committees is needed, or even decide not to have a committee. There Page 1 of 2 02/08/12 may also be other areas or topics for which you might want to create a new committee, based on the goals and priorities you set for the coming year.
