St. Paul Park council hears commission updates, parks winter events and police chief hiring progress
Summary
Council members reported commission schedules, a parks winter program at Woodford Park, and an ongoing police chief hiring process that includes final interviews and additional due diligence; commissioners also noted vacancies on several commissions.
Council members provided routine reports on commissions and city programming at the Jan. 5 meeting of the City of St. Paul Park.
A representative for the Public Works Commission said the commission has not met since the last council meeting; the next meeting is set for March 3 and the commission is seeking one additional member. The Planning Commission reported no new business and scheduled its next meeting for Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
The Parks & Recreation representative said the next Parks & Rec meeting is Thursday at 6 p.m., and described planned winter activities including a glow-in-the-dark sledding event and winter fest at Woodford Park, both contingent on weather. The warming house attendant schedule and free skates were noted as posted on the city website. "There's free skates up there," the Parks & Rec speaker said, clarifying that skates are available to use rather than rent.
Council member Swenson reported there is no new business for the Public Safety Commission, that the commission's next meeting is slated for March 5 at 6 p.m., and that the commission is short two members. The mayor also said council members participated in final interviews for the city’s new police chief and that additional due diligence will precede any announcement.
The meeting concluded with no public comment and an adjournment by the mayor.
