TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Tabke, Mayor
DATE: 01/06/2015
SUBJECT: 2015 City Council Liaison Appointments (F)
Action Sought
The Council is asked to affirm the Mayor's 2015 Council liaison appointments to
various boards, commissions and organizations.
Background
It is proposed that the following individuals serve as Council officers or liaisons for
2015.
1. Acting Mayor -- Jay Whiting
2. Interview Committee -- Kathi Mocol and Mike Luce
3. Metro Cities —Kathi Mocol
4. Municipal Legislative Commission - Brad Tabke
5. SCALE /Joint Training Facility Board Representative - Jay Whiting
6. Scott County Transit Review Board—Mike Luce
7. Suburban Transit Authority Board of Directors —Mike Luce
8. MVTA Board of Directors -- Mike Luce
9. US 169 Corridor Coalition - Board of Directors - Matt Lehman and John
Schmitt (citizen representative)
10. Intergovernmental Working Group -- Matt Lehman and Brad Tabke
11. Railroad Safety Committee - Matt Lehman and Mike Luce
12. Derby Days - Matt Lehman
13. Shakopee Diversity Alliance - Jay Whiting and Kathi Mocol
14. Ad Hoc Committee--Jackson Township Liaisons - Matt Lehman and
Brad Tabke
Acting Mayor
With the exception of the Acting Mayor position, all liaison positions listed above
are proposed to remain the same for 2015 as they have been for 2014. When liaison
appointments were made in 2014, it was established that the Acting Mayor position
would rotate annually to the longest-tenured member of the Council who has least
recently served as Acting Mayor. Councilmember Lehman has been Acting Mayor
for 2014, so that would mean it is Councilmember Whiting's turn in 2015.
Interview Committee
While not specifically noted in last year's action, the Interview Committee has been
a two-year appointment in the past, with Mayor Tabke and Councilmember Whiting
serving on the Interview Committee in 2012 and 2013. Therefore it is
recommended that Councilmembers Mocol and Luce remain on the Interview
Committee for 2015.
2-Year Terms
The following liaison roles were specifically listed as two-years appointments when
originally made in 2014 and therefore will continue as is:
1. I.S.D. 720 School Board—Mike Luce
2. Shakopee Convention and Visitors Bureau—Kathi Mocol
3. Shakopee Chamber Of Commerce Board of Directors —Kathi Mocol
4. Shakopee Public Utilities Commission Liaison -- Jay Whiting
Recommendation
I recommend that the above listed liaison appointments for 2015 be approved.
Budget Impact
This item has no budget impact.
Relationship to Vision
This items supports Goal D: Maintain, improve and create strong partnerships with
other public and private sector entities.
Requested Action
If Council concurs, it should move to endorse the Council officer and liaison
appointments listed above.
