He then commented that even though Mr. Miller <br />is not a resident of Mounds View, he is actively involved in the community because he works for <br />the school district. <br />• MOTION/SECOND: Sonterre/Thomas. To Re-Appoint Eric Miller to the Police Civil Service <br />Commission. <br />Council Member Marty expressed concern with appointing Mr. Miller because he is not a <br />resident of Mounds View and his business office is not in Mounds View. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that previous Council had provided a special condition because Mr. <br />Miller works as a member of Mounds View Public Schools. <br />Council Member Thomas indicated she had reviewed the other applications and feels it would be <br />beneficial to have Mr. Miller on the Police Civil Service Commission because he works for the <br />school district. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he felt it was great that Mr. Miller was interested in <br />volunteering and thanked him for serving. He then said the function of the Police Civil Service <br />Commission is a bit different and there are candidates that live in Mounds View and have a lot of <br />police background qualifications. <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated there may be a problem with the appointment because the statute <br />requires the appointees live in the City. He then indicated he would review the matter and report <br />back to Council. <br />
