Forest Lake council approves slate of commission appointments, reinstates parks and recreation commission
Summary
Council approved multiple civic commission appointments, including a newly restarted Parks and Recreation Commission with staggered terms to avoid simultaneous expirations.
The Forest Lake City Council approved a slate of appointments to city commissions, including the reinstatement of the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Mayor Roberts read the recommended appointees for the public record and asked for a single motion to confirm all recommended names. The council approved the appointments in one motion.
Appointees announced for the public record included: Airport Commission — Curtis Monson and Mara Bain; Economic Development Authority (EDA) — Jonathan Wright; Parks and Recreation Commission — Karen Morehead, Sandra Mattson, Sue Herdina, Aaron Eckhart, Don Thieson, Tim Gary and Melissa Landmark. The mayor said the parks commission was intentionally staggered so members’ terms would not all expire at once (some one-year, some two-year, some three-year terms).
A council member thanked the appointees for volunteering and noted the value of commission input to council decision-making. The motion to approve the recommended commission members carried without recorded opposition.
