I " PC# ~ I I CONSIDER APPOINTMENT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY BOARD AND ESTABLISH TERM EXPIRATION DATES FOR SITTING BOARD MEMBERS By: Givonna Reed, Interim Human Resources Manager I ! I I Background In November 2002, Mr. A1 Pearson was elected to serve on the City Council. As a member of the City Council Mr. Pearson is serving as a City Council liaison to the Public Safety Board and may not, therefore, maintain his old seat on the Public Safety Board. Staff advertised the vacancy that resulted from Mr. Pearson's election to the City Council and received one letter of interest which was submitted by Mr. Joe Riddle, Mr. Riddle has been invited to interview before a panel which includes the Personnel Committee, the Chair and Vice Chair of the Public Safety Board and an ex-officio staff member. The interview will be conducted May 13, 2003 at 5:30pm. I I I The interview panel should determine whether the applicant, Mr. Riddle, is suited to serve a four-year term expiring December 31, 2006. Once this vacancy is filled, the Public Safety Board will have a full complement of members. Attached to this staff report you will find a brief description of the Public Safety Board from the city code, a list of current Public Safety Board members, a copy of Mr. Riddle's letter of interest and interview questions. Additional Item for Consideration In preparing this staff report it came to my attention that term expiration dates have not been established for the following Public Safety Board Members: Tom Anderson, Brad Paplham and David Lewandowski. Section 2.03.02, subd. 3 of the city code states that board or commission members shall be appointed to staggered four-year terms. Section 2.03.02 subd. 6 indicates that board and commission members are limited to two consecutive four-year terms plus a partial term of a predecessor. After speaking with members of the Public Safety Board, it appears that Mr. Anderson has been serving on the Board for approximately two years, therefore, staff recommends a term expiration date of December 31, 2004. Mr. Paplham has been serving on the Board since November 2002, therefore, staff recommends a term expiration date of December 31, 2006. Mr. Lewandowski has served on the board for approximately five years, therefore, staff recommends a term expiration date of December 31, 2005.
