The Council should discuss how it wants to go about <br />recruiting additional members for this task force. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson reported that all the members of the Communications Committee wish to <br />be re-appointed. He indicated that he had not directly contacted anyone regarding the Water <br />Quality Task Force. However, he did put together a list of interests and those individuals who he <br />felt may be represented. The list basically includes people who have expressed an interest in <br />serving on the task force. He felt there should also be association representatives from the Lake <br />Josephine Lake Shore and Lake Johanna Lake Shore Associations. Additionally, there should be <br />representatives from Bethel College, Northwestern College, TCAAP, the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District, a High School student trom Mounds View, the City Engineer and Public Works <br />Director. He asked if the other Councilmembers had any additional ideas to add to the Water <br />Quality Task Force. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that the list provided by Councilmember Larson contained a large group of <br />good candidates. <br /> <br />Councilmemher Rem noted that some of the names on the list might overlap with interest <br />expressed in other committees or task forces. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked Councilmember Larson ifhe was suggesting that the Council formalize <br />some appointments to the Water Quality Task Force. Councilmember Larson stated he had <br />simply wanted to ensure that the efforts were moving in the right direction and for the Council to <br />provide any suggestions they may have. He indicated that he would be contacting the <br />individuals on the list in order to determine their intent. <br /> <br />With regard to a Rice Creek Watershed District representative, Councilmember Aplikowski <br />stated that although the City does need to be more in touch with them, the agency tends to bring <br />too much baggage with them. She agreed however, that in this particular case a representative <br />trom the Rice Creek Watershed District might be a good suggestion. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that, although he would agree with Councilmember Aplikowski's concerns, <br />since the entire City of Arden Hills is within the District, the Rice Creek Watershed District <br />should provide a representative to share concerns and work cooperatively with the City. <br /> <br />With regard to the list of prospective members for the Water Quality Task Force, Mayor Probst <br />noted that Andy Holewa had expressed an interest in several other groups, which may reduce the <br />number on the list by one. Councilmember Larson stated that he would make contact with the <br />prospective members and see where things go from there. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst suggested that, since the Newsletter (Communications) Committee is asking to be <br />re-appointed, the Council should make a formal motion re-appointing the committee members <br />and Chair. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a <br />motion to re-appoint the existing members serving on the Newsletter Committee <br />
