<br /> <br />ITEM 12. <br /> <br />FROM: PAT KLAERS, CITY <br /> <br /> <br />TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br />PARK & RECREATION COMMISSI <br /> <br />DATE: APRIL 8, 1993 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: TERMS OF OFFICE FOR COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />There has been a number of brief conversations at both the City <br />Council level and Park & Rec Commission level regarding filling <br />of vacancies on the Park and Recreation Commission. Concern <br />has been expressed that soliciting applications during the <br />Christmas season for a vacancy on the Commission that takes <br />place on January 1, is not a good time of the year to get <br />interested citizens to apply for the Commission. Discussion <br />has taken place about adjusting the terms for the Commission <br />and/or adjusting the timeframe when applications are <br />solicited. A reasonable approach seems to be one that has been <br />discussed at a recent Commission meeting. This approach is to <br />keep the terms of office effective on January 1, but to solicit <br />applications in October before the holiday season. This would <br />help stagger the interview process the Council goes through for <br />vacancies on all the Commissions, and may help the Park & Rec <br />Commission get a larger response to the vacancies that <br />periodically exist. Also, with this approach, no change in the <br />terms of office (or the Park & Rec Ordinance) would be required. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
