TASK FORCE BUSINESS Case #1 Recruiting Task Force Members It was noted that Michael Reeve submitted his resignation earlier today. The Task Force was originally establiahed with 9 voting members and there currently are 5 voting members (McDilda, Max, Sitz, Connolly and Dvorak) and one non-voting member (Rolfe of Park Commission). Through some discussion it was determined that the Task Force should go back to 9 voting members, (6 residents, a Park Commission Liaison, a Planning Commission liaison, and a City Council liaison). Under that proposal, there are 7 persons on the task force (5 residents, Park Commissioner Rolfe and Councilmember Strommen). Therefore, there are two vacancies: one resident and a Planning Commission liaison to replace Mike Reeve. City Staff was directed to post the vacancy and Councilmember Strommen volunteered to discuss the Planning Commission appointment with City Council. The consensus was that the Task Force will meet once a month, the first Monday, effective immediately. The September meeting falls on Labor Day and the meeting will be rescheduled to Wednesday, September 3. Three consecutive absences could result in termination of the appointment. ACTION ITEMS Ms. Frolik to ask Human Resources Manager to advertise the EPTF vacancy. ADJOURNMENT
