Interested persons may apply for appointment by the County <br />Board, or if the towns and municipalities within the district, either jointly or severally, <br />submit a list of at least three nominees, the County Board must appoint from that list. A <br />list of nominees must be submitted 60 days (November 17) before the end of the term <br />which is January 17. <br />In recent years, the City of Lino Lakes has not submitted a list of nominations to the <br />County Board, but has submitted letters of support for applicants. <br />Related to this issue, Mr. Harvey Karth has delivered the attached letter to the Council <br />soliciting the support of the Council for this position. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is seeking clarification as to whether the Council wishes to: 1) pursue the <br />submission of a list of at least three nominations from which the County Board must <br />appoint; 2) consider recommending to the County Board the appointment of an <br />applicant(s); or 3) take no action on this issue. <br />Attachments <br />1.
