16 1. Annual Advisory Board Process —Administrator Karlson noted that the council
17 has received a list of applicants for open/expired advisory board positions. All the
18 applicants would be reappointments except for one position on the Planning and Zoning
19 Board. How does the council want to proceed with an appointment process; shall it be
20 an interview process? It was noted that there were as many openings as applicants.
21
22 The council concurred that they will hold a joint meeting with all the boards and that will
23 provide an opportunity for new council members to meet the board members.
24 Community Development Director Grochala suggested that would be a good opportunity
25 for him to present information on the proposed Mattamy development. The mayor
26 suggested that a meet and greet be held for the first half-hour of that meeting to allow for
27 some handshaking and introductions. The meeting will be scheduled for February 17.

29 2. Public Safety Vehicle Capital Replacement — Mayor Reinert indicated that with
30 a tight schedule for this evening's meeting, this item wouldn't be moving forward to the
31 council. He suggested a quick discussion and more to come at the next work session.
32
33 Public Safety Director Swenson announced that the amount of funds to be received from
34 the Centennial Fire District replacement fund will be $840,000, more than anticipated due
35 to accrued interest. He looks forward to the council's discussion on the matter of this
36 capital purchase plan and noted that it is his understanding that a work session direction
37 would be sufficient to move forward with equipment orders. The mayor suggested that
38 the timeline requires moving forward sometime in February. Director Swenson clarified
39 that it is his understanding that orders can be made through February but it is totally up to
40 the company. Mayor Reinert suggested that the council could take action at the February
41 8, 2016 meeting if that is necessary.
