BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Due to recent departures from the Planning Commission, there is currently one alternate position
open on that commission. It is recommended that the Council makes an appointment in order
that the Planning Commission can be fully staffed and operational.
Staff received an application from Ms. Yocum for the open Planning Commission seat and
Council interviewed Ms. Yocum immediately prior to this meeting. The question of her
appointment is now before the Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider an appointment to the Lake Elmo Planning
Commission by choosing one of the following options.
a) If the Council desires to approve the appointment, it can do so by taking the following action:
“Move to appoint Sara Yocum of 4886 Linden Trail North as 2nd Alternate on the Lake
Elmo Planning Commission, effective immediately.”
d) If the Council desires to deny the appointment, it can do so by taking the following action:

Alternate on the Lake Elmo Planning Commission.”
