Adopt Resolution #18-103 Appointing New Board and Commission Members 

The City recently filled open seats on the Environmental Policy Board, Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. One seat remains open on the Economic Development Authority (EDA).  In addition, one seat on the Environmental Policy Board (EPB) is now vacant due to the resignation of Mr. Tom Stodola. 

Interviews were held with the City Council on May 8, 2018 and Ms. LeAnn Lambrecht and Mr. Michael Madison were interviewed.

Per Minnesota Statue 469.095, pertaining to the Mayor’s authority to appoint members to the Economic Develop Authority (EDA), Acting Mayor LeTourneau indicated that he will select Ms. LeAnn Lambrecht to serve on the EDA and the Councilmembers  concurred with the Acting Mayor’s selection. 

The Acting Mayor and Councilmembers  agreed by consensus to appoint Mr. Michael Madison in the near future if there was an unexpected vacancy on the City’s boards and commissions.   After receiving Mr. Stodola's resignation from the EPB, staff contacted Mr. Madison regarding the opening and Mr. Madison stated he would be very interested in serving on the Environmental Policy Board. 

 

The funding required to appoint members to the City's Boards and Commissions is included in the 2018 budget.

To appoint Ms. LeAnn Lambrecht  to a term on the Economic Development Authority, effective immediately and ending March 31, 2024 and to appoint Mr. Michael Madison to a term on the Environmental Policy Board, effective immediately and ending March 31, 2020.
