8.f)2) Committee/Commission Vacancies Meeting Date: 12/20/2011 Agenda Item: (� �, �� , City Council Agenda Report � City of Scandia 14727 209�' St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Receive a report on upcoming vacancies on city advisory committees (Planning Commission, Park and Recreation Committee and Capital Improvements Committee.) Deadline/Timeline: Terms on some committees expire February 1, 2012; others have existing vacancies. Background: • The city began advertising for applicants for committees in the October city newsletter and has had an announcement active on the website since then. Typically, the Council interviews applicants for citizen committees in January. • The term of office of one Planning Commissioner, Chair Christine Maefsky, will expire on February 1, 2012. She has applied for reappointment. There are no other applications on file. • The Park and Recreation Committee, which currently has 5 members and 2 vacancies,has no members with terms expiring. No applications are on file. • Current appointments to the Capital Improvements Committee continue through February 1, 2013. However, 2 of the citizen members failed to attend any meetings in 2011. No applications are on file. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council discuss the status of Committee appointments. A more direct recruiting effort by the Council may be necessary to find citizen volunteers. Attachments/ • Committee Rosters (Parks, Capital Improvements and Planning) Materials provided: .
