RE: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission Appointments
Introduction
The Park, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission has one vacancy due to the election
of Derrick Lehrke to the City Council, and two members, Paul Poncin and Keith Kleinsasser,
who have reached the end of their term limits.
Paul Poncin, Parks Commission Chair, and Councilmember Dave Thiede requested interviews
with five candidates. Only two of those candidates responded to the interview request, and they
were interviewed on February 22. After the interviews, based on the level of experience and
relevance of the interviewed candidates, they recommended appointing Mark Nelson to the
Parks Commission to fulfill the unexpired term that ends on February 29, 2012.
Because of his newness on the City Council and as liaison to the Parks Commission, Council -
member Thiede would like to extend the terms of both Paul Poncin and Keith Kleinsasser to
retain two very experienced Commissioners.
Appoint Mark Nelson to the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission, to fulfill
an unexpired term ending on February 29, 2012.
2. Extend the terms of Paul Poncin and Keith Kleinsasser on the Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission.
