Forest Lake — The city council authorized formation of an ad hoc Public Works Building Steering Committee to advise on the design of a new Public Works building and to provide stakeholder input to the architects.

City staff described a proposed stakeholder roster that includes two council members, representatives from relevant city committees, the public works director and division leads, and the lead mechanic. Council members discussed meeting frequency (monthly or at design inflection points), adding a Community Development representative, and ways to limit meeting frequency to respect staff schedules.

One council member moved to form the committee and name Council member Larson and Mayor Roberts as the council’s appointees; another council member seconded the motion and it carried. Staff said the committee could be refined through committee endorsements and that staff would return with details as design milestones are reached.
