Member DeBenedet volunteered to serve, noting that this was an issue in which he had significant interest; and advised that he intended to attend the meetings whether as a delegate or as a private citizen. Member Stenlund also nominated Member Gjerdingen, not present at the meeting at this time, recognizing his significant interest in this issue as well.

However, Chair Vanderwall recognized that Member Gjerdingen would also share a strong interest in serving. Mr. Schwartz advised that, during initial discussions with City Manager Bill Malinen and Parks & Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke, they all concurred that it was important to have School District No. 623 represented, especially with the projects receiving the highest priority, as well as for their feedback on the entire build out plan. Mr. Schwartz noted that this interest was further confirmed by the School District during discussions at a joint meeting of the School Board and City Council held in June of this year.
