7.06: Consider Adopting Resolution #17-03-066 Appointing and Re-Appointing Board and Commission Members Human Resources Manager Lasher reviewed the staff report and recommendation to appoint Mr. Glen Hardin to a six-year term on the Economic Development Authority; Ms. Jane Covart to a four year term on the Environmental Policy Board; Mr. Russel Bayer to a four year term on the Park and Recreation Commission; Ms. Jennifer Leistico to a four year term on the Park and Recreation Commission; Mr. Charles Tchuinkwa to a two year partial term on the Park and Recreation Commission; Ms. Cheri Gengler to a four year term on the Planning Commission; and Cindy Nosan to a one year partial term on the Planning Commission. Councilmember LeTourneau asked why the additional applicant was not being appointed to the position on the Planning Commission that would become vacant in 2018. Human Resources Manager Lasher stated that it was her understanding that this was the direction the Council provided but noted that she could amend the action as desired. Councilmember Johns agreed that the desire of the Council was to set that appointment to begin in 2018, which would allow that applicant to get up to speed during the next year so that he would be ready to go when his term begins in 2018. City Administrator Ulrich stated that it was planned to be brought back as a separate case to appoint that applicant to the Comprehensive Steering Committee immediately and then to the Planning Commission effective April 1, 2018. Mayor Strommen agreed that would be a good addition to the motion tonight. Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to adopt Resolution #17-03-066 Appointing and Re-Appointing Board and Commission Members as amended. Further discussion: Councilmember LeTourneau stated that it was not an error that Human Resources Manager Lasher made or misunderstood and thanked her for allowing the Council to make the addition to the motion. Mayor Strommen noted the new process the Council has adopted to have Board and Commission members come to a Council meeting for a ceremonial swearing in after they have been sworn in on their Board or Commission. Human Resources Manager Lasher confirmed that the applicants have been made aware of the ceremonial swearing in at the Council meeting on April 11th Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers LeTourneau, Johns, Kuzma, Riley, Shryock, and Williams.
