The City Code also states: "The council may, by special application, appoint a commissioner for one term in excess of the limit provided in this subsection where it is determined that such would serve the best interests of the city." The following commissioners have expressed interest in serving another term. 1. Two -year terms: March 1, 2011 through February 28, 2013: a. Tanweer Janjua, Francisco Gonzalez and Richard Johnson to the Human Services /Human Rights Commission b. Paul Poncin, Douglas Butler, Keith Kleinsasser and William Schumal to the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission c.

The Council liaisons to the Commissions that they serve on are recommending that they be extended one term beyond the limit, as provided for in the City Code. Councilmember Lehrke is not recommending those that have terms expiring on February 28, 2011 on the Public Works Commission and the Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation be reappointed at this time, pending an anticipated review process of applicants for the seats.
