�. Request for Council Action Date: January 5,2004 Item Number: 4. (�',, Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section Organiz�tional Business Item Description: City Council Liaison Assignments Back�round: Traditionally, the Council has considered assigning certain Councilmembers to represent the City Council before various external and internal boards and commissions. For example, attached is a list of Council Liaisons for 2001 and 2000. (Attachment 1) Currently, Councilmember Schroeder serves as the City Council's representative to the North Suburban Cable Commission. In addition, the by-laws for the I-35W Corridor Coalition designate the Mayors of the member cities to be that city's representative to the Coalition Board unless a city chooses to designate some other representative. (The by-laws of the Roseville Fire Relief Pension Board designate the Roseville Mayor as an ex-officio member of that Board.) In addition, from time-to-time the Council has chosen to designate a Councilmember to follow the work of certain citizen advisory commissions — such as the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission. Alternatives: L Modify or Affirm the current Council Liaison assignments. 2. Suggestion: As a start, I suggest --- a. the Mayor will serve as the city's representative to the I-35W Corridor Coalition and as an ex-officio member of the Fire Relief Pension Board, b. The Council would re-appoint Councilmember Schroeder to the North Suburban Cable Commission Board; c. Councilmember Maschka would help with the City's legislative program, including a Tax Increment Financing bill for Twin Lakes; d. Councilmember Kough would help with the City's clean-up initiative;
