RE: RECOMMEND APPLICANTS/OFFICERS FOR PRF COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS

follows:

The City is in the process of solicited applications from residents interested in serving on the
Commission and three applications have been received to date (see attached). Two of the
applicants are current Commissioners with terms expiring. The other applicant is a 12-year
resident of Mounds View and works as a forest entomologist for the US Forest Service, with 22

The Commission will need to make appointment recommendations for the vacant seats and a
Chair position for next year’s Commission meetings. These recommendations will be
forwarded to the City Council for consideration. The City Council is anticipated to make
appointments at their December 10, 2012 regular meeting.
