Home My WebLink About10A Planning Commission Appointments MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to request City Council approval of appoint- ments to the Planning Commission vacancies that occurred October 31,2007. Historv The bylaws for the Planning Commission provide that the terms expire on October 31. Advisory body members are subject to a term limit to encourage new persons to be come involved in the advisory committee process. Incumbents Dan Ringstad and Alan Billington were invited to reapply and we also placed notices in the Prior Lake American, the Wavelength, the Newswire and on the Website. Current Circumstances Four applications were received and the interview committee consisting of Council Liaison Warren Erickson, Planning Commission Chair Vaughn Lemke, City Man- ager Frank Boyles and Planning Director Jane Kansier met with the candidates on Tuesday, November 13, 2007. The applications of the four candidates are attached for Council information. The committee recommends the following actions: 1. Appoint incumbents Dan Ringstad and Alan Billington to the two vacant seats on the Planning Commission. 2. Offer candidate Jeremy Coughlin the opportunity to serve on the Park Advisory Committee or Lake Advisory Committee; and Terry Gutowksi to serve on the Economic Development Advisory Committee. 3. Ask Mssrs. Coughlin and Gutowski if they would like to receive an orientation to the Planning Commission, meeting agenda packets and attend the meetings with no per diem as Planning Commission apprentices so they are ready if and when a vacancy occurs in the future. Conclusion The Council should determine if it concurs with the recommendation of the inter- view committees and staff. ISSUES: I have contacted all four candidates. As of this writing, I do not know their prefer- ences. I hope to have that information by Monday night. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt the resolutions making the appointments in accordance with the recom- mendations of the interview committees. 2. Adopt the resolutions with modifications. 3. Take no action.
