The Police <br /> Department will place an ad in local papers this week. Robert Toborg has indicated that <br /> according to his records his term officially ends in 1999 and since he will be relocating he will <br /> not seek re-appointment. In addition, the Council must appoint someone to complete the term <br /> of Charlynn Robertson who resigned this past summer. <br /> Issues that need to be addressed... <br /> 1. One applicant has applied to the Planning Commission and the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission. Are applicants permitted to serve on two boards or commissions <br /> simultaneously? <br /> 2. Section 405.03,subd. 1 of the Code states that"Members of the Commission shall serve <br /> three (3) year staggered terms, with terms expiring December 31 of each year." It has <br /> been recommended that we change the terms for two Park and Rec. seats from 3-year <br /> terms to 2-year terms. Can the recommended change be made without formally <br /> amending the Code? <br /> 3. Some Board and Commission appointments have been made by motion instead of by <br /> resolution. Would the Council agree to a standard of appointing Board and Commission <br /> members by resolution for the sake of tracking and clarity? <br /> Staff will re-advertise all seats for which we have not received applications. <br /> M:\1999\Worksession Packet\12-6-99\Item 12-Y2K Boards and Commissions Staff Report(Givonna Reed).doc <br />
