This term expires on 12/31/2000. City staff advertised this vacancy in the Maplewood Review, Maplewood In Motion and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. We received applications from several qualified residents. BACKGROUND At the June 7, 1999 Council /Manager Workshop, the Mayor and City Council interviewed the top three applicants for the Civil Service Commission and voted on their top two applicants. RECOMMENDATION Based on the final tally, it is recommended that the City Council appoint Joseph Zappa to fill the Commission vacancy. He will serve out the term through December 2000. tmc May 11, 1999 Mayor George Rossbach Maplewood City Hall 1830 E.

All got their start in Girl Scouting. In fact, recent alumnae searches have verified what we've known for more than 85 years whether in business, sports, government, science, education, or the arts, Girl Scouting launches leaders in all fields. It is my pleasure to inform you that 5 young women from your community recently attained an achievement that marks them as leaders of tomorrow. The enclosed roster provides their names and contact information, and indicates which award they have earned. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award in Girl Scouting. It is available to Senior Girl Scouts in the 9" through 12' grades. To achieve this leadership award, girls must meet three prerequisites in the areas of leadership, skill development, and career exploration. They must also plan and implement a significant leadership project involving 40 hours of community service over four months. The reach of a Girl Scout Gold Award project is often far, touching the lives of people in our own community, and also in places such as North Dakota and Guatemala. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest achievement that a Cadette Girl Scout (in grades 6 -9) may reach in Girl Scouting. Like the Girl Scout Gold Award, the Silver Award focuses on personal development, leadership, and community service. We hope that you will recognize the Girl Scout Gold and Silver Award recipients in your community by presenting them with a plaque, mailing a certificate or personal letter, or mentioning their accomplishments at your next council meeting. Some cities have chosen to hang a permanent plaque in city hall to commemorate their Girl Scout Gold Award recipients. Plaques such as these can be updated on an annual basis. Should you have any questions or wish to learn more about leadership opportunities in Girl Scouting, please contact Program Manager Sally Spreeman at the number above. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, Andrea Specht Communications Director Enclosure Serving all or parts of Anoka, Chisago, Dakota.
