Title:

Adopt Resolution #18-065 Appointing and Re-appointing Board and Commission Members

Purpose/Background:

The purpose of this case is to appoint and re-appoint members to the City's Boards and Commissions.

The City Council is responsible for appointing board and commission members to the Economic Development Authority, the Environmental Policy Board, the Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. 

Staff conducted the annual boards and commissions recruitment process for terms beginning April 1, 2018.  Vacancies were advertised in the Ramsey Resident, the Anoka County Union, on the City’s website, on the City’s community sign, on QCTV, on the City’s Facebook, and via the City's email notification system. 

Board or commission members with terms set to expire on March 31, 2018, were contacted and asked if they desired reappointment or not.  If yes, each member submitted a letter of interest and the Chair, Vice-chair or senior member of the respective commission was invited to submit their recommendations.

The City Council reviewed the incumbents' materials and it was the consensus of the City Council to re-appoint the following incumbent members to new terms beginning April 1, 2018.

•Shane Bennett to the Park and Recreation Commission for a 4-year full term
•Randy Bauer to the Planning Commission for a  4-year full term
•Gary Van Scoy to the Planning Commission for a 4-year full term

Four new candidates were interviewed by City Council.  By consensus, the City Council recommends the following individuals be appointed to the City's boards and commissions. 

•Laura Moore to the Environmental Policy Board for a 4-year full term
•Daniel Onyambu to the Planning Commission for a 1-year partial term

Funding Source:

Funding for the City's boards and commissions is included in the 2018 General Fund Budget; therefore, there are no additional budgetary implications associated with making the recommended appointments.

Recommendation:

The following appointments are recommended:  to the Environmental Policy Board, Ms. Laura Moore to a 4-year full term; and to the Park and Recreation Commission, Mr. Shane Bennett to a 4-year full term, and to the Planning Commission, Mr. Randy Bauer to a 4-year full term and Mr. Gary Van Scoy to 4-year full term and Mr. Daniel Onyambu to a 1-year partial term.
