SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to reappoint Shane Weis and Mary Frick to the Lake Elmo Park Commission. Based on staff research, both were serving their first term that have expired on December 31, 2015. Staff
recommends reappointment to a second 3 year term for each individual. If removed from the
Consent Agenda, the motion for this action is as follows: “Move to reappoint Shane Weis and Mary Frick to the Lake Elmo Park Commission for a three year term.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Pursuant to Lake Elmo City Code, Park Commissioners are appointed to 3 year terms by the City Council. Park Commissioner’s terms are staggered so that all members’ terms do not expire at the same time. Two commissioners have terms that expired
on December 31, 2015. In order to fill out the Park Commission roster, two members must now
be appointed/reappointed. As there have been no new applicants, it is recommended that both current Park Commissioners be reappointed.
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is respectfully requested to reappoint Shane Weis
and Mary Frick to the Lake Elmo Park Commission. Based on staff research, their terms have
