Planning Commission Appointment <br />Moorse stated that the Council should make an appointment to fill the seat on the Planning <br />Commission vacated by Dale Lindquist. <br />Nygard asked if the Council planned to always move alternates into Planning Commission <br />vacancies and seek new alternates. Moorse suggested that should not be the rule because <br />they need to always seek new talent in the community. Nygard stated he favored giving <br />alternates the first right of refusal. Sansevere stated that he favored keeping the pool open <br />to the community in case someone with experience moves in, or in case the pool dwindles <br />because some people might not be interested in applying if they know it's only for an <br />alternate position. Flint stated that some alternates might not be suitable as Commission <br />members. <br />Nygard stated that Gary Welsh had missed the interviews because he was out of town with <br />a sick mother. Sansevere stated they would have rescheduled his interview, had they <br />known, to accommodate him. <br />Sansevere moved, and Mayor Peterson seconded, to appoint Dave Rahn to the <br />unexpired term on the Planning Commission, which expires on March 31, 2003, and <br />to ask Cynthia Bremer to act as an alternate. is <br />*12.
