Councilmember Specht stated that he selected Justin and Amy for Parks. He believed that Matthew would be a good fit for the EPB. Councilmember Musgrove commented that Matthew would be a good alternate for the EPB because of his experience with forestry and believed Michelle would be a good fit. Councilmember Riley stated that he would not support Michelle for a position. He commented that he believes that Matthew will be successful in any placement, whether that is Parks or EPB. Councilmember Heinrich stated that Matthew is a strong candidate but wondered if there would be a conflict of interest with the Parks Commission because of his employment with Three Rivers Park District and therefore found him to be better with the EPB. Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would see that connection as a benefit. He commented that he would select Jared and Matthew for Parks. Administrative Services Director Lasher summarized the discussion of the Council thus far with Jared, Matthew, Amy, and Justin for the Parks Commission and reviewed the vote tallies. The consensus of the Council was to select Matthew for the partial term and Justin for the full term for the vacancies on the Park Commission. The consensus of the Council was to select Jared for the EPB. The consensus of the Council was to select Ryan for the EDA. Councilmember Musgrove commented that she believes that Amy is a strong candidate and perhaps could be considered if someone declines their potential appointment to Parks or EPB. City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that it is helpful to have an alternate and confirmed the consensus of the Council with that direction. Councilmember Riley stated that there is turnover on the Boards and Commissions and therefore there is additional opportunity for others in the future. 3.
