CITY OF CIRCLE PINES 200 Civic Heights Circle Circle Pines,Minnesota 55014-1795 Telephone 784-5898 FAX 785-2859 Marshall N.Dahl,Mayor Hazel Schneider,Coundlmember M.Ke Wagner,Jr.,Councdmemoer Jeffrey Nelson,Councdmember Micnaci A.Feiiing,Counclimember James W.Keinath,City Aamintsualor MEMO TO: City Council Members FROM: Jim Keinath RE: Joint Powers Agreement for North Metropolitan Recreation DATE: July 6, 1990 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listed below I will identify those items that appear to be inconsistent or raise questions as I review the document. At the City Council meeting, we will want to take the input of the Park Board, as well as Council members, on any prospective changes to the agreement. Page 3, Section 5 .Meetings. The first sentence of A should read "the Com- mission" rather than "the Commissioner". Page 4, Section 5C. Indicates the Recreation Coordinator is required to attend all commission meetings. I'm not sure "required" is the appropriate choice of words. I assume they want to make it an ex officio position that has the right to attend all meetings, rather than requiring the individual' s attendance, which could be difficult with sickness or vacations. Page 4, Section 6 Bylaws. Section 6 indicates that the Commission has the ability to adopt bylaws and rules, etc. I wonder if it wouldn't be appropriate for the cities involved to review those bylaws. Page 5, Section 7D. Section D indicates that any action other than adjournment must be approved by the majority of the full membership of the Commission. Typically, a majority would be by vote of the members present. Perhaps with the number of cities they have involved here, it would be their intent to say the full membership. By doing that it assures that even if a city which is not represented had been present it would have not had an impact on the vote. Perhaps the intent could be clarified. Page 6, Item 2B. I am a little concerned when it indicates that other employees can be employed. I wonder if it would not be appropriate to say"providing suf- ficient funds are budgeted", or some other mechanism that gives the City some assurance of control. ~ Also, it further clarifies that it can be on a full-time basis as it continues.
