Frischman gave a warm welcome to Paul Jacobsen, the new Council Member and Liaison to PREC. VIII. Announcements A. Council Report—Council Member Jacobsen stated that he has been on a lot of Commissions and he appreciates volunteers. He thanked the Commission for helping fulfill the mission of keeping New Brighton the place where we want to live and raise our kids. Breuer stated that term limits are currently 3 years. Some Commissioners filled vacant positions so appointments will be up before 3 years. Long Nguyen, Tom Trevorrow and Jered Weber will have terms expiring March 31, 2012. Tom will meet the maximum term limit. Jacobsen asked for a general feeling about the term limits. Commissioner responses are below: • Do not have an issue of having to reapply after 3 years. • The fact that you have a maximum term limit doesn't seem necessary. • To say to someone that is willing to help, that the City no longer needs you because you put in X number of years, is crazy. • It should be up to the volunteer to decide when they are done. Unless there is an issue and then the Council would make a decision. Jacobsen stated he addressed this while campaigning and this is something he will address with the Council. B. Chair Updates Frischman commented that at the December meeting, PREC received information about the resignation of Denise Jacobsen from the Commission. She wanted to take the opportunity to formally thank her for her service. 5
