<br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br />FROM: Heidi Heller, City Clerk <br />DATE: December 15, 2017 <br />RE: 2018 Planning Commission Appointments <br />2018 Planning Commission Chair Appointment <br /> <br />STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The terms of office for Bill Buesing, Chris Kwapick and Eric Thorson will expire on December 31, <br />2017. Nick Sandell has also notified staff of his upcoming resignation to occur in Spring 2018. <br />At this time, there are three 3-year terms and one partial term (through December 2019) to fill. <br /> <br />The City has received letters requesting reappointment from Chris Kwapick, Bill Buesing and Eric <br />Thorson. Letters of interest were also received from Nicole George, Isaac Mitchell, Angela <br />Malone and Glenn Levine. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission Interview Committee consisted of Council Members Montour and <br />Torkelson, Associate Planner Jagoe, Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager Shearen, City <br />Administrator Hanson and Planning Commission Chair Buesing. The consensus of the Interview <br />Committee is that Bill Buesing, Chris Kwapick and Eric Thorson should be reappointed to 3-year <br />terms. The interview committee has not yet made a decision on who should be the new appointee <br />to fill the partial term, but will have a recommendation for the Council at the meeting. This person <br />will be officially appointed once Mr. Sandell submits his resignation sometime in the first quarter <br />of 2018. <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.
