CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AUGUST 7, 2000
9H
Frank Boyles, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT TO FILL VACANCY ON
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, ACTING MAYOR AND CITY
COUNCIL LIAISON TO LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
DISCUSSION: History:
At its July 17, 2000 meeting, the City Council formally accepted the resignation of
Councilmember Pete Schenck. Councilmember Schenck was also a member of
the Economic Development Authority, Acting Mayor, and City Council Liaison to
the Lake Advisory Committee. It is therefore appropriate for the City Council to
appoint new representatives in each case.
ISSUES:
Current Circumstances:
At the July 17th meeting, Mayor Mader asked each City Councilmember who was
interested in serving on the Economic Development Authority to contact him
before the August 7th meeting. Under the Economic Development Authority
bylaws, the existing vacancy must be filled by a Councilmember for a term which
ends 12/31/00, The Mayor makes the appointment which is then confirmed by a
majority of the City Council.
Since Council member Schenck was also Acting Mayor, it is also appropriate for
the Mayor to propose an Acting Mayor for confirmation by the City Council.
Councilmember Schenck was also liaison to the Lake Advisory Committee. The
Council may wish to consider appointing a new liaison to the Lake Advisory
Committee. Earlier this year, the following Council members were appointed as
liaison to the following committees:
Park Advisory Committee
Planning Commission
- Council member Ericson
- Councilmember Gundlach
Conclusion:
The Council should make appointments as it deems appropriate.
The Council could elect to defer some or all of the appointments until a new
Councilmember is selected in order that that individual could be considered as
well.
ALTERNATIVES: (1) Make appointments as deemed appropriate.
(2) Defer action on one or all of the appointments.
RECOMMENDED
MOTION: As the Council deems appropriate.
