From: Neil Soltis, City Administrator
Re: Appointment to Forest Lake Cable Commission
Background: Since Mayor Simonson tendered his resignation from the Forest Lake Cable
Commission effective November 30, 2016, the City has not been represented Council on the
Commission. The Scandia resident position has been vacant since Dave Swanson resigned
earlier in 2016. Previously there has not been an interest from Councilmembers or a resident
to fill these positions. Councilmember Kronmiller is willing to serve as the Council
representative on the Commission.
Issue: Should Councilmember Kronmiller be appoint at the City Council representative to the
Forest Lake Cable Commission.
Options:
1. Appoint Councilmember Kronmiller
2. Leave the positions vacant
Recommendation: Option 1— The City has a financial interest in the Commission and having a
appointed representative will help to protect that interest.
