Memorandum
DATE: November 25, 2013
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Position on West Metro Fire District Board
Earlier this year, Councilmember John Budziszewski agreed to serve in the position on
the West Metro Fire District Board created by ReNae Bowman’s resignation.
Councilmember Budziszewski’s term in this position expires December 31, 2013.
The Council agreed it would recruit for citizen representatives using the advisory
commission application (candidates were required to submit a resume ) as well as
consider any interested councilmembers for the position. The Council also discussed
with staff whether it was appropriate to have both councilmembers and citizens
“compete” for this Board position or if the position should be reserved for a
councilmember. That debate was never resolved.
To date, we have one resident candidate and Councilmember Budziszewski interested
in this position. At its November 14 work session, the Council agreed to start with
interviewing the resident candidate at a work session. The City Council will consider a
resolution making an appointment to this position to a two-year term at its
organizational meeting in January.
The citizen representative candidate will be at the December 3 work session for an
interview with the City Council.
