The Parks Trails and Recreation Committee (PTRC) currently has two vacancies for
membership. Both vacancies are three year terms with an expiration of December 31, 2015. The
City received a committee application on November 20, 2012 from John Van Valkenburg. The
Committee Guidelines do not require an interview. Staff reviewed the application and
conferred with Council Liaison Brenda Holden and PTRC Chair Cindy Garretson. The panel
felt comfortable recommending Mr. Van Valkenburg based on his application, without a formal
interview. Mr. Van Valkenburg lives near Floral Park on Royal Lane. His family has been
heavily involved in our Parks and Recreation Programs over the past 10 years. He has been a
volunteer coach for both soccer and t-ball, helped with buckthorn clean up days and his son Alec
completed an Eagle Scout project for the City this past spring. His application has been included
for your review.
