RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINPMENT OF
PRIOR LAKE/SPRING LAKE WATERSHED
DISTRICT MANAGER REPRESENTING PRIOR
LAKE.
MARCH 17,1997
Earlier this year, I received a letter from County
Administrator Gary Cunningham advising that the terms
of Craig Gontorak and Betty Erickson would be expiring in
March. This agenda item recommends Council Action on
this issue.
The Prior Lake / Spring Lake Watershed District consists
of five managers, all of whom are appointed by County
Board members who represent specific regions of Scott
County. Craig Gontorak is Prior Lake's current manager.
Betty Erickson represents one or more of the Townships.
At the Council's direction, I placed advertisements in Prior
Lake's area newspapers advertising for applicants for
these positions. To date, neither I nor the County have
received any applications.
Craig Gontorak has expressed an interest in serving an
additional term. David Moran, the President of the
Watershed has endorsed Gontorak's candidacy.
Finally, I have been advised by the County that County
Commissioner Bohnsack will appoint Ms. Erickson to a
third term. Prior Lake's Commissioner, Barb Marschall,
would make the appointment representing Prior Lake.
The Council has the following alternatives:
1. Recommend that County Commissioner Marshall
appoint Craig Gontorak to the Prior Lake / Spring Lake
Watershed Board for an additional term.
16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
2. Request County Commissioner Marshall to solicit
additional applications for recommendation
RECOMMENDATION: Alternative #1. Craig Gontorak has participated in
Watershed and has become knowledgeable in related
issues. He has served only one two-year term.
ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second as part of the Consent Agenda to
recommend that County Commissioner Marshall appoint
Craig Gontorak as the Prior Lake / Spring Lake
Watershed District Manager representing the City of Prior
Lake.
