,^iRQEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: December 18, 2012 Agenda Item: 4.A. <br /> TO: Parks Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> FROM: Michelle Olson, Parks and Recreation Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Committee Membership <br /> Background <br /> The PTRC has two vacancies for membership. Both vacancies are three year terms with an <br /> expiration of December 31, 2015. The City received a committee application on November 20, <br /> 2012 from John Van Valkenburg. The Committee Guidelines do not require an interview. <br /> Staff reviewed the application and conferred with Council Liaison Brenda Holden and Chair <br /> Cindy Garretson. The panel felt comfortable recommending Mr. Van Valkenburg based on his <br /> application, without a formal interview. The City Council approved his appointment at their <br /> December 10, 2012 meeting. Mr. Van Valkenburg lives near Floral Park on Royal Lane. His <br /> family has been heavily involved in our Parks and Recreation Programs over the past 10 years. <br /> He has been a volunteer coach for both soccer and t-ball, helped with buckthorn clean up days <br /> and his son Alec completed an Eagle Scout project for the City this past spring. Mr. Van <br /> Valkenburg's official term will begin in January, 2013. <br /> Since that recommendation, staff has received two applications for the remaining vacancy. The <br /> panel is attempting to schedule interviews of both candidates in order to make a recommendation <br /> for appointment to Council. <br /> --------------------- -------------------- <br /> Staff provided this information for informational purposes. <br /> 12182012 Committee membership.doc <br />
