HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Steven C Mielke, City Administrator Copy: Date: January 25, 2013 Subject: Council Committee and Inter - Agency Appointments City of Lakeville Administration Each year the City Council appoints members of the City Council to various committees, joint power organizations and membership organizations. At a January 7 work session, the City Council determined it appropriate to maintain the existing membership appointments until such time as the Council had appointed someone to the vacant City Council seat. As such the appointments will wait until the Council holds a discussion at the February work session and subsequently acts on the appointments at the March 4 Council Meeting. The Council asked me to review the various appointments to determine if there were any appointments that should be made prior to action on March 4. Attached to this memorandum is a draft organizational outline of the various groups to which the City Council makes appointments. Having reviewed this list I suggest the City Council consider making appointments to the following: Dakota Communications Center Board of Directors The DCC will be entering a period in which the budget will be discussed and acted upon. I recommend we have our Director selected and begin attending meetings. The next meeting will be in February 21St at 8:00 am.
