Shorewood council appoints Park and Planning commissioners, backs regional fire JPA
Summary
The Shorewood City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 25-020 to appoint members to the Park and Planning commissions and approved a consent-item resolution supporting formation of a regional fire Joint Powers Agreement; motions passed without recorded roll-call tallies at the Feb. 10 meeting.
The Shorewood City Council on Feb. 10 approved appointments to the Park and Planning commissions and adopted a consent-item resolution supporting regional fire cooperation.
On the consent agenda the council approved RESOLUTION NO. 25-019 endorsing the formation of a Fire Joint Powers Agreement with Minnetrista, Mound, Saint Bonifacius and Spring Park (item carried as part of the consent agenda). Later in the meeting the council confirmed appointments to commissions: Mike Hirner and Amy Wenner were appointed to three-year Park Commission terms and Janet Sylvester was appointed to fill the remainder of Nat Gorham's Park Commission term. For the Planning Commission, Cindy Holker and Daniele Longo were appointed to three-year terms and Eric Magistad was appointed to fill the remainder of Michelle DiGruttolo's term. Maddy moved and DiGruttolo seconded adoption of RESOLUTION NO. 25-020; the motion passed.
Why it matters: these appointments fill vacancies on advisory commissions that review parks and planning matters and give those bodies membership continuity. The fire JPA endorsement signals support for regional cooperation among neighboring cities on fire services.
What’s next: the new commission members will serve their specified terms; staff will process appointment paperwork and incorporate the appointees into commission schedules and orientation. No formal roll-call vote totals were recorded in the meeting minutes for the motions referenced.
