CITY OF SHAKO PEE
Memorandum
CASE NO.: NA
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Mark Noble, Planner II
SUBJECT: Historic Preservation Advisory Commission Resolution
Amendment
MEETING DATE: January 16,2007
INTRODUCTION
The Historic Preservation Advisory Commission (HPAC) is comprised offive (5) members,
appointed by the City Council, to include representatives of the community. The
Commission has one vacant seat and has an application to fill that seat; however, that
applicant lives just outside the city limits in Jackson Township. In the resolution that
established this Commission, the criteria for selecting members included a condition that the
Commission include representatives of the community. As it is unclear as to whether
"representatives of the community" mean a resident of the City of Shakopee, or someone
that lives within the Shakopee community (meant to include the townships), staffhas
drafted a resolution that clarifies this issue. The proposed new language is underlined.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is being asked to consider a clarification in the residency criteria for the
HP AC, in that they should determine whether the existing language is too vague and should
be revised to be more specific as to the residency location of the Commissioners.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve Resolution No. 6561, a resolution amending the Historic Preservation Advisory
Commission residency criteria to clarify the residency location of the Commissioners.
