<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Heidi Heller, City Clerk <br /> <br />DATE: December 16, 2016 <br /> <br />RE: 2017 Planning Commission Appointments <br /> 2017 Planning Commission Chair Appointment <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The terms of office for Nick Sandell and Tom Duray will expire on December 31, 2016. There <br />is also a vacancy from Jeff Heikke resigning in September, and the remainder of his term <br />through December 2017 will need to be filled. At this time, there are three positions to fill: two <br />3-year terms, and a 1-year term to complete a vacated position. <br /> <br />The City has received a letter requesting reappointment from Nick Sandell. Tom Duray has <br />reached the 3-term limit and cannot reapply. Letters of interest were also received from Chris <br />Kwapick and Catherine Beltmann. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission Interview Committee consisted of Council Members Keis and <br />Fischer, and the City Administrator. The consensus of the Interview Committee is that Nick <br />Sandell should be reappointed to a 3-year term, and Chris Kwapick and Catherine Beltmann <br />should be appointed to fill the two open Commission vacancies. The Council will need to decide <br />which applicant will be assigned to fill the 1-year term. <br /> <br />Please also note that the Planning Commission Ordinance calls for the Mayor to make a <br />recommendation for Planning Commission Chair. Mayor Keis will make that <br />recommendation at Wednesday’s meeting, with the Council making the actual appointment. The <br />Commission will select their own Vice Chair at their first meeting in January. <br />
