Re: Appointment to Parks & Recreation Committee
Background: In early August Susan Rodsjo notified the City that she is resigning from the Parks and
Recreation Committee. Sue’s term on the committee will expire February 28, 2022. The Council
approved soliciting applications through the City’s web site and Facebook page. Postings were made in
both locations on August 16 with a deadline for applications of noon on August 31. The site statistics
for Facebook show the posting was viewed 51 times, a follow-up reminder on Facebook viewed 48 time,
and the new article on the website viewed 20 timese. No applications were received as of the deadline.
Issue: How will an appointment be made to fill the remainder of the 5-year term.
Options:
1. Solicit applications through the City’s web site and Facebook page
2. Make an appointment without seeking applications
Recommendation: Option 1
