Consider approval of Resolution 11 -86 adding an alternate position
to the City of Lakeville Finance Committee
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 11 -86
adding an alternate position to the Lakeville Finance Committee:
Adoption of this motion will result in expanding the membership of the Finance
Committee to include an Alternate who would become a voting member in the absence
of any regular member.
Overview
On May 16, 2011 City Council adopted Resolution 11 -46, establishing a City Finance
Committee, however, the resolution did not allow for an alternate member. Adding an
alternate member to the Finance Committee will make it consistent with other City of
Lakeville advisory committees.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the purpose of an alternate member?
An alternate committee member would be available to vote on issues in the absence of
any regular member. In some instances this could alleviate the possibility of a tie vote.
• What is the term of office?
The term of office is one year, from April 1st through March 31st, which is consistent
with alternate members of other City advisory committees.
