She explained that Council adopted a policy in 1997 which established term limits for <br />Commissions, two four-year terms, plus partial terms a Commissioner is requested to fill. She <br />indicated a goal would be that at all times, at least half the Commissioners would have four years of <br />Planning Commission experience. This would not be an issue until the year 2002, at which time there <br />would only be two Commissioners with four years of experience and three with less than four years <br />experience. <br /> <br />Acting City Administrator Smith stated Commissioners Jensen and Terry have reapplied for the <br />Planning Commission and indicated six applications had been received from residents interested in <br />filling the other two vacancies. Also, four residents interested in the vacancies contacted staff after <br />the application deadline. <br /> <br />Acting City Administrator Smith questioned if four years experience would be sufficient for the <br />Planning Commission. Commissioner Thorud stated a full year is needed to acquire an understanding <br />of the City's issues. He indicated two or three members with four years of previous Commission <br />experience would be sufficient for the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/February 3, 1998 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
