Frank Boyles, City Manager
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY SAFETY
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to appoint five persons to serve as the
Community Safety Advisory Committee.
Historv
The Long Range Planning Committee amended the 2030 Vision and Strategic
Plan last February to include a new vision element. The new element entitled,
"Safe and Healthy Community," acknowledged the fact that Prior Lake cannot
achieve the 2030 Vision unless residents feel safe. This vision element affirms
that each of us is responsible for making the community safe and healthy.
Following a neighborhood meeting regarding the potential relocation of a Level III
sexual predator into the community, the City Council solicited applications from
citizens to establish a Community Safety Task Force.
Forty persons applied to participate. The Task Force identified five key areas of
focus and divided into subcommittees to examine each. The Task Force
prepared a report regarding steps to be taken to address each area. The staff
then identified fifteen items for accomplishment in the near term.
The City Council desires to make the safe and healthy communities efforts
ongoing and, therefore, directed staff to solicit applications from Task Force
members to serve on the new advisory committee.
Current Circumstances
Five Task Force members submitted applications. They are:
Janine Alcorn
Gina Gertner
Susan Hadley
Beth Jader
Woody Spitzmueller
Councilmembers Hedberg and LeMair, and myself, have interviewed four of the
candidates. Because of schedule limitations, Councilmember LeMair and I
interviewed the fifth applicant.
