Fraser Recreation Commission recommends Wendy Radke to city council for recreation seat
Summary
After interviewing applicant Wendy Radke, the Fraser Recreation Commission voted to recommend her appointment to the City Council for a term ending in 2029. The recommendation will move to the council for a confirmation vote.
The Fraser Recreation Commission voted April 7 to recommend Wendy Radke for appointment to the Recreation Commission, sending the nomination to the City Council for confirmation.
Radke, who said she served more than 20 years on a junior football club board and previously served on a Melvindale parks and recreation board, told commissioners she applied because she missed being part of community programming and wanted to help shape local recreation offerings. “I miss being part of something that helps my community,” she said during the interview.
Commissioner Cook moved to recommend Radke for a term ending in 2029; Commissioner Hunt seconded. Commissioners present then voiced their approval and the chair said the recommendation would be forwarded to the City Council, which will hold the final vote.
The recommendation is a referral rather than an appointment: the council will decide whether to confirm Radke. No council action occurred at the Recreation Commission meeting. The commission handled the candidate interview and recommendation at the start of the April 7 agenda.
What happens next: The City Council will schedule Radke’s confirmation vote at a future council meeting; the commission’s role on April 7 was limited to interviewing the applicant and making a recommendation to council.
