FROM:
Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
RE:
Boards and Commissions Expiring Terms
DATE:
November 24, 2009
INTRODUCTION:
According to City Council policy, it is appropriate that Council consider at this time the
reappointment of individuals whose terms on boards and commissions are expiring and announce
the upcoming vacancies.
BACKGROUND:
According to the policy, ninety days prior to the expiration of terms each year, the Council shall
be advised of the upcoming vacancies and the attendance record ofthe individuals whose terms
are expiring, should those individuals be eligible for reappointment. At that time the Council
shall consider the reappointment ofthose individuals. Should the Council determine that the
individuals merit reappointment, they will be contacted to determine if they wish to seek
reappointment. Council shall also announce the upcoming vacancies and applications will be
accepted from all interested citizens of Shakopee.
Application Deadline: Since adoption of the current policy, there has been confusion on the
exact date that applications will no longer be considered. Sometimes there have been
insufficient applications received and Council has made nominations as late as the same evening
of appointment. In 1990, Council set the final date to receive applications as the date that
nominations are made. Unless Council directs otherwise, applications will be accepted until the
first meeting in February. The advertisement will encourage applications to be submitted by
January 26th so that Council can receive copies with their agenda packet for the February 2nd
meeting. (If insufficient applications are received, applications will continue to be accepted until
qualified individuals are appointed).
Eligible Appointees: Attached is a list of the individuals whose terms are expiring and who are
eligible for reappointment. (Those individuals who have not served more than three terms will
be invited to apply for reappointment, per the guidelines for appointments).
Summary: After the holidays, staff will follow up on advertising, posting, and mailing notices
on accepting applications for filling the expiring terms on City boards and commissions. A letter
will be sent to each member whose term is expiring February 28,2010 (excluding those
individuals who have served three terms) inviting them to consider reappointment.
RELATIONSHIP TO VISIONING:
Goal F: Housekeeping
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Direct staff to advise those individuals whose terms are expiring on boards and
commissions (who have not served three consecutive terms) that they are eligible for
reappointment.
2. Announce that the City will be advertising and accepting applications from Shakopee
citizens for boards and commissions beginning in January. Applications may be obtained
at the City offices during regular hours, can be mailed if requested, or obtained from the
City's web site.
