Executive Summary

Council is requested to make amendments to the annual designations to various boards and commissions for 2023.

 

Background

After the annual designations for 2023 were made at Council’s first meeting in January, some amendments are being recommended:

 

-                     North Metro Telecommunications Director

Staff was informed that an elected official must be designated as alternate and Councilmember Newland is being recommended to serve that role. 

 

-                     Twin Cities Gateway

Anoka County Commissioner Julie Jeppson has expressed interest in continuing to represent Blaine on Twin Cities Gateway for 2023. 

 

-                     Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council

Clarification has been included designating Mayor Sanders as the appointee for the Governance Committee and Chief Podany on the Executive Committee.
