<br /> <br />appointments later in this meeting and appointments would be made in two weeks. <br /> <br />Commission Appointment Discussion <br /> <br />Mayor Johnson stated the Council was lucky to have such a great group of applicants. She reported the City <br />had 15 openings and 16 applicants. She requested the Council begin discussing the Planning Commission <br />appointments first. She noted Commissioner Frischman (2022 term) has shown interest in retaining her seat <br />and the group had two vacant seats. She supported the reappointment of Commissioner Frischman. The <br />Council was in agreement. <br /> <br />Mayor Johnson explained the other members of the community interested in serving on the Planning <br />Commission were Ezekiel Agbossou, Liza Allen and Eric Nelson. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen stated he would be abstaining from making a recommendation on these appointments. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jacobsen and Councilmember Dunsworth supported the appointment of Eric Nelson to the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fynewever agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jacobsen recommended Liza Allen be the other appointee to the Planning Commission. He <br />believed she would be a good strong candidate with this group. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fynewever indicated Ms. Allen was more interested in serving with the EDC and Public <br />Safety Commission. She supported Ms. Allen be appointed to the EDC. She noted Ezekiel was interested in <br />the Public Safety Commission and was not available for EDC. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen supported appointing a female to the EDC. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth encouraged the Council to keep in mind if Ms. Allen were appointed to the EDC, <br />this would put three significant others of Councilmembers on the same Commission. She did not recommend <br />the Council take this action. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jacobsen recommended Ms. Allen be appointed to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />The Council supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Mayor Johnson shifted the discussion to EDC appointments. The Council supported the reappointment of Bob <br />Benke and Paul Zisla. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jacobsen recommended Jacqui Sauter be appointed to the EDC. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fynewever supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Mayor Johnson shifted the discussion to PREC appointments. The Council supported the reappointment of <br />Pam Axberg. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jacobsen recommended Pauline Alfors be appointed to PREC. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth agreed with this suggestion.
