January 23, 1987 <br />Mayor James Grabek <br />970 Forest Arms Lane <br />Mound, MN 55364 <br />SUBJ: Composition of the Planning Commission <br />Dear Mayor Grahek: <br />Is there a real need for two (2) rural and two (2) urban <br />representatives on the Planning Commission, as Der Sec. 2.51, <br />Subd. 1 of the city ordinance? Does the ordinance serve a useful <br />purpose or just restrict the mayor and council from appointing the 7 <br />most qualified applicants? faking into consideration that the <br />Planning Commission is an advisory body to the mayor and council and <br />that the mayor and councilmembers were elected by the citizens of <br />Orono to represent the best interests of the entire city; is the <br />criteria of where a commission member lives really important? Are <br />the city and council better served using this criteria? <br />I believe that the Planning Commission is a very important part of <br />our city government and do not envy your job in the coming weeks of <br />"weeding out" (no pun intended) the special ;. :eat applicants from <br />the truly sincere individuals who are willing to give up their <br />valuable time to help keep Oronc a better place in which to live. <br />In the few weeks ahead, I hope you will take my letter into <br />consideration and base your appointments on not where an applicant <br />lives, but rather intelligence, fairness, openmindedness and the <br />sincere desire of the individual to serve his or her community for <br />the betterment of the entire city. <br />Sincerely, <br />�7�w�.GC �iGC�,Gurz� <br />Frank Peterson <br />
