Item No: 08A Meeting Date: July 28, 2014 Type of Business: CA City Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8290, Appointing Blake Downes to the Streets and Utilities Committee Background: The Streets and Utilities Committee is a temporary advisory group that was established by the City Council in February 2008 through recommendations by members of the Streets and Utilities Task Force - a citizen group that developed the Street and Utility Improvement Program in 2007. The overall charge of the Committee is to ensure that the Street and Utility Improvement Program is implemented as adopted. The Committee advises and provides recommendations to the City Council on non-standard street design and financing issues encountered, reviews stormwater infiltration basin appeals, and evaluates any public comment associated with non- standard streets, stormwater appeals, implemented policies, or the Program in general. The Committee's purpose will be fulfilled upon the completion of the Street and Utility Improvement Program at which time the Committee will be disbanded. There are two seats available on this seven seat committee; both seats will be expiring on December 31, 2016. Discussion: Staff received an application from Blake Downes. Attached is his application. The Streets and Utilities Committee members do not wish to make recommendations to this committee. Therefore, all appointments to this committee are made by the City Council without recommendations by this committee. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council review Mr. Downes’s application and appoint Mr. Downes to the Streets and Utilities Committee. This committee seat will expire on December 31, 2016. Respectfully submitted, _______________________ Desaree Crane
