FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF APPOI MENT TO FILL
VACANCY IN THE LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
History: The seven member Lake Advisory Committee (LAC) has one
vacancy. City Council bylaws provide that the Council liaison ,
committee chair, and City Manager interview applicants.
Current Circumstances: Two persons submitted applications to this
opening. Prior to the interview, one candidate withdrew.
Consequently, the committee interviewed one candidate, Roger
Soderstrom (see attached application) for the position.
The Issues: The Council should determine if one candidate is sufficient
to fill the vacancy.
Conclusion: The committee believes that Mr. Soderstrom would be a
.good Lake Advisory Committee member. He has been a resident of
Prior Lake since 1976. He has lived on the lake since 1983. Roger
owns Prior Lake Marine and is therefore familiar with the many
perspectives held about the lake. He describes himself as a
conservationist and naturalist.
The Council has the following options:
1. Appoint Roger Soderstrom to fill the LAC vacancy.
2. Solicit additional applications.
Motion and second as part of the Consent Agenda to approve
appointment of Roger Soderstrom to serve on the Lake Advisory
Committee for a term expiring October 1999.
