I I. . I I . I . . .- I I I . I I I .- I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCn. - JUNE 27, 1994 8 Person noted that the construction of the TCAAP interceptor is underway for waste control. The City will maintain an interceptor connection for possible reimbursement at a future time. Person requested the Council's intentions for filling the two vacancies on the Planning Commission. Applications have been received from Christine Anderson, Greg Larson, and Brent Nelson. Only one additional application was received. Probst noted that at a previous meeting mention was made of two other individuals who may be interested. Fritsinger stated that the two outstanding individuals were notified by letter of the Council's intention to fill the vacancies. Neither has responded, so it is staff's understanding that there is no interest at this time. Hicks noted that the Council has not accepted Mr. Ray McGraw's resignation. He has indicated that he will serve until a replacement is appointed. MOTION: Aplikowski moved that Christine Anderson be one of the appointees as a member of the Planning Commission because of her ability and interest as shown by her efforts for her own property. Mayor Sather noted that typically appointments are made by the Mayor and ratified by the Council. Since he will not be serving after this meeting, he felt it appropriate to step back from these appointments. He suggested perhaps Councilmembers would wish to interview the candidates more formally which would be in the purview of the four remaining Counci1members. Aplikowski withdrew her motion. Probst stated that the issue is made more difficult with three candidates and two positions. He agreed it would be good to learn more about the qualifications of each one. He also expressed concern that the Commission has been short a full commission for two months and he would like to see appointments made for the July meeting. Mayor Sather suggested that it may be appropriate to accept the resignation of Commissioner McGraw to create the second vacancy. MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Aplikowski to accept Mr. Ray McGraw's resignation from the Planning Commission, effective June 30, 1994, with direction to staff to send him a letter of appreciation for his years of service. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
