Re: Discussion on City Council Committee appointments
Background:
It is typical for the Council to review City Council committee and commission appointments at
the first meeting of the New Year. Due to expiring terms there are vacant positions that need to
be filled and potentially there could be changes to the existing appointments.
Issue:
Who should be appointed to any vacancies? Does the Council want to change of the liaisons to
committees/commission?
Proposal Details:
Dan Lee served as the City Council representative on the Economic Development Authority
board. Does the Council want to make an appointment to the EDA board?
Dan Lee served as the City Council liaison to the Park and Recreation Committee. Does the
Council want to make an appointment to act as liaison to the Committee?
Mayor Simonson served as the City Council representative on the Forest Lake Cable
Commission. Does the Council want to make an appointment to serve as City Council
representative to the Commission?
Councilmember Chris Ness serves as the liaison to the Planning Commission. Does the Council
want to change that appointment?
Councilmember Bob Hegland serves on the EDA board. Does the Council want to change that
appointment?
Councilmembers Chris Ness and Bob Schneider serve as the Council representatives on the
Wastewater Advisory Committee. Does the Council want to change those appointments?
The Council will also need to appoint an Acting Mayor at the Annual Meeting (January 19th)
and may wish to discuss possibilities/express interest at this time.
