Landmarks commission votes to recommend co-chairs with a council member and citizen co-chair
Summary
The Monona Landmarks Commission voted to recommend that the mayor appoint co-chairs for the commission — one a council member and the other a citizen; the commission moved to recommend Rebecca Monquist as the citizen co-chair and instructed staff to forward the recommendation to council/mayor for appointment.
The Monona Landmarks Commission voted on Feb. 18 to recommend that the mayor appoint co-chairs for the commission, with one co-chair being a city council member and the other a citizen member.
A commissioner moved to recommend to the mayor that the commission be served by co-chairs — one a council member and the other a citizen — and to nominate Commissioner Rebecca Monquist as the citizen co-chair. Another commissioner seconded the motion. The mover recused themself from the final confirmation; the voice vote was recorded as in favor and the motion carried.
Commissioners discussed timing: the change would take place after the April committee-appointment process and would follow the mayor’s appointment authority. Members acknowledged the advantage of continuity and shared expertise from a citizen co-chair working alongside an elected council member.
Action: staff will forward the commission's recommendation to the mayor and council as the commission’s formal suggestion for chair structure and nominee.
