CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 03/12/2013 By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative Services Information Title: Adopt Resolution #13-03-058 Appointing Board and Commission Members 4. 8. Background: In November 2012, staff began the annual recruitment and selection process to fill seats on the Economic Development Authority, the Environmental Policy Board, the Park and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission; all seats set to expire on March 31, 2013. All vacancies were advertised in the Ramsey Resident, the Anoka County Union, the City's website, the City's community sign, on QCTV, in the utility billing statements, and via the city's email notification system. On March 5, 2013, the City Council conducted nine interviews to fill eight vacancies. Incumbents seeking reappointment and new applicants were considered in one collective recruitment, interview and selection process. Observations: At the March 5th work session, the consensus of the Council was to request that the Personnel Committee review and recommend revisions to the process of filling commission seats. This topic will be added to a future Personnel Committee agenda.
