Appointment of Members to the Technology Workgroup
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution appointing
members to the Technology Workgroup.
Overview
The City Council requested staff to investigate the need to assemble an advisory group to address
current and future technology needs within the city and throughout the community. The City
Council considered several options for assembling a group and directed staff to develop a
Technology Workgroup that includes members from the community with varying backgrounds
and interest including two student representatives from Lakeville North and South High Schools.
After two rounds of interviews the City Council has chosen the following residents to participate
on the workgroup:
Michael Hubener
Ellen Kroehler
Brad Kroll
Pat Peterson
Mike Reardon
John Ricketts
Josh Ruegg
Amy Schmidt
Gianna Rucki (Student/Lakeville North)
Irwin Sowah (Student/Lakeville South)
Primary Issues to Consider
What is the responsibility of the Technology Workgroup?
The purpose of the Technology Workgroup is to identify opportunities and make
recommendations for improvements to city services through the use of technology. Examples
include evaluating the city’s fiber optic network, e-commerce offerings, and partnering with the
business community on issues that may benefit our residents and businesses. This work group will
be comprised of six to eight citizens, local business representatives, school district officials, and
Dakota County staff. The work group will meet as needed on a short-term basis (6-8 months) and
will be supported by the City of Lakeville Information Systems Manager.
