251 Member Miller suggested, with Board Members consensus, that each city Mayor be sent a letter 252 requesting they provide a representative from their city, whether an elected official or their 253 delegate, to serve on the task force. Members concurred that an enthusiastic and water - quality 254 interested person be sought. 255 256 Chair Eckman opined that someone from their respective environmental committees would be 257 appropriate. 258 259 For the other three (3) openings on the task force, Chair Eckman suggested that they should be someone 260 with computer skills who enjoyed doing research; and someone with an established network. 261 262 Member Westerberg opined that there was a need for someone on the task force with a background in 263 finance and budgeting at a city level for realistic number research. 264 265 Discussion of potential task force members included a representative from the north part of the GLWMO 266 (someone from the Snail Lake Improvement District); a representative of the business community since 267 commercial as well as residential properties would be impacted by financing options; or a non - agency 268 representatives or stakeholders in water quality; with other options to contact for potential task force 269 members including Scott Halstad, the Freshwater Society; or the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce 270 for a recommendation of someone from their group with a business interest in the 55113 or 55126 271 area code, a resident of the GLWMO but not having lake property rights. 272 273 Mr. Schwartz suggested that the GLWMO Board contact the League of Women Voters for a 274 representative, noting that they also study water quality issues. 275 276 Chair Eckman suggested that the Roseville Citizens League (RCL) be contacted for a representative from 277 the senior forum, since they had both Roseville and Shoreview residents involved in their group. 278 279 Further discussion included how many task force meetings to hold, their frequency, and number of hours 280 in order to provide a proposed time commitment for prospective task force members. 281 282 Chair Eckman opined that the number of meetings was less of a commitment than the number of hours for 283 research homework for assigned teams. 284 285 Member Von De Linde suggested, with Member consensus, that one (1) GLWMO Board member be 286 assigned to each task force member for a specific topic or project. 287 288 Motion 11 -06 -08 / Action Step 289 Member Miller moved, and Member Barrett seconded approval of authorizing the Chair and Mr. Petersen 290 to implement and recruit five (5) people as discussed during tonight's meeting, for recommendation to the 291 task force, with the goal to recruit those people and report at the July 21, 2011 GLWMO Board meeting 292 for formal action. 293 294 Member Barrett suggested, with Board Member consensus, that recruits be sought based on a short-term, 295 not long -term commitment; and with the group being put together quickly to allow them sufficient time to 296 complete their due diligence by the target date of October 14, 2011; allowing time for the GLWMO 297 Board to complete their analysis and make a recommendation to the member City Councils by their 298 respective November meeting. 299 300 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 301 Con
