Regular City Council Meeting & Executive Seasion Monday, March 23, 2009 Page 10 Johnson moved, Roe seconded, appointment of Jason Etten; David Holt; and Mary Holt to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mayor Klausing expressed his concern in the slate, when two people from the same household were represented on a commission; and sought broader community representation. Councilmember Ihlan concurred with the mayor's observation. Councilmember Pust noted that both were strong individuals in their own right; and would both serve the commission equally well. Councilmember Johnson spoke in support of the motion; and provided his rationale in considering applicants, based in part on demographics, age, and gender to provide that broad representation and various perspectives to the City's park system. City Manager Malinen noted that there was one vacancy on the commission that expired earlier, requiring designation of which applicant would serve which term. Johnson moved, Roe seconded, amendment to the original motion, appointing Jason Etten; and Mary Holt to two vacancies for terms that expire March 31, 2012; and David Holt to one vacancy for a term that expires March 31, 2010. Roll Call (Amendment) Ayes: Pust; Ihlan; Johnson; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: None. Roll Call (Original Motion as Amended) Ayes: Pust; Johnson; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan.

Roe moved, Pust seconded, appointment of Glenn Cook and John Gisselquist to the Planning Commission for three year terms expiring March 31, 2012. Councilmember Ihlan opined that she would like to consider other options beyond the slate recommended by the Planning Commission Chair; further opining her support of appointing Gisselquist and Gary Grefenberg; noting that Mr. Cook had been unavailable for interviews. Councilmember Ihlan advised that, due to her inability to interview Mr. Cook, she would regretfully vote against the motion.
