The League serves its more than 800 <br />member cities through advocacy, education and training, policy development, risk <br />management, and other services. The League Board is made up of elected and appointed <br />member city officials. Board members have set expectations for collective and individual <br />Board service through the League's Governance Handbook. Members and officers are <br />elected at the League's Annual Conference based on a slate of candidates recommended <br />by a Nominating Committee. <br />Discussion: <br />Council Member Carol Mueller has submitted an application to serve on the League Board. <br />Applications submitted by elected officials are often accompanied by letters of <br />recommendation and resolutions by the governing body in support of the application. <br />Serving on the LMC Board of Directors is both an honor and responsibility. One of the <br />League's strengths has always been its broad and diverse membership. The ability to <br />serve members' needs and exhibit leadership by anticipating and proactively addressing <br />city challenges hinges on a Board of Directors that is representative, responsible, strategic, <br />and visionary. These same characteristics can be said to describe Council Member <br />Mueller. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Mounds View City Council hereby recognizes and appreciates the contributions made <br />by Council Member Carol Mueller and wholeheartedly supports her efforts to serve on the <br />League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors by approving attached Resolution 8107. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />J <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
