AGENDA ITEM <br />Item No.: 22 <br />Date: April 9, 2018 <br />Item Description: Planning Commission Alternates <br />Presenter: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Agenda Planning Department's <br />Development Director Section: Report <br />1. Purpose. Consider two additional Planning Commission Alternates <br />2. Background/ Summary. Chris McGrann has requested to step down as Planning Commission <br />Alternate. With Mr. McGrann's retirement, the roster of Planning Commission alternates includes the <br />following: <br />Jan Berg (Appointed April, 2003) <br />JB Seals (Appointed March, 2018) <br />Mark McCutcheon (Appointed March 2018) <br />Two of the three recently retiring members of the Commission, Denise Leskinen and Loren Schoenzeit, <br />have indicated their willingness to serve the Commission as an alternate. Having experienced <br />Commissioners serve as alternates helps the Commission appropriately respond to applications, given the <br />five new members (three regular and two alternates) and the learning curve associated with understanding <br />the City Code and processes. <br />Further, there is some advantage of implementing a staggered term system for alternates, to avoid a mass <br />exodus of institutional knowledge. <br />3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends appointing the Loren Schoenzeit and Denise Leskinen to <br />serve as Planning Commission alternates for a two year term, expiring March 31, 2020. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to appoint Loren Schoenzeit and Denise Leskinen to serve as Planning Commission alternates for <br />a two year term, expiring March 31, 2020. <br />Prepared By: J.
