In 2020 the Council removed liaisons for the Coon Creek and Rice Creek Watershed Districts and Anoka/Hennepin Community Education Advisory Council as they felt formal liaisons were not necessary as these organizations regularly contacted Council and staff when necessary. Changes to the Twin Cities Gateway appointments have been included to reflect the additional seat and alternate designation of the City Manager; appointments to Special Board of Review will be added once the Board is able to meet again in 2022.
Recommendation
By motion, appoint Council and/or staff liaisons for 2021.
