INTRODUCTION
The City Council will be conducting interviews of candidates for the Parks Systems Task Force
and various commissions. There are eight openings within the commissions. The Community
Design Review Board has one opening; The Heritage Preservation Commission has three
openings; The Parks & Recreation Commission has one opening; The Human Rights
Commission has one opening; and the Planning Commission has 1 opening. These openings
are due to terms expiring and resignations. One candidate seeking reappointment to the
Heritage Preservation Commission, because of scheduling issues, could not interview at this
time and will be interviewed at a future workshop.
Recently staff received notice of resignation from Planning Commissioner Stephen Wensman.
This created the opening mentioned in the above paragraph. Because this is a recent
resignation, it was not posted with the other openings listed. However, as one of the candidates
interviewing at this meeting expressed interest in the Planning Commission, the council can
choose to fill the vacancy.
The Parks Systems Task Force is a new task force that will be charged with the development of
a comprehensive master plan for the City’s parks, trails, and preserves that looks out over the
next 20 years. One of Maplewood City Council’s goals for 2012 thru 2014 is to develop a
comprehensive master plan for Maplewood’s parks system. The task force will be centrally
involved in the creation of a Parks System Plan that will be founded on a process of resident and
stakeholder engagement. The task force will include residents of the City, business
representatives, commission members, staff and other stakeholders. The City Council
interviewed and appointed 6 individuals during the April 8th workshop and meeting. The Council
will interview 3 additional candidates during this workshop.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council interview the candidates as indicated in the schedule below.
The suggested questions will be submitted under separate cover to the Council. During the
interview process, Council Members should fill out their ballots. Once the Interviews have
concluded, Council Members should submit their ballots to staff, which will be tallied with the
results brought back to the Council during the following regular meeting with recommendations
for appointments.
