From: Joe Fischbach, Human Resources Coordinator
Date: February 8, 2012
Subject: Commission Reappointments
Cottage Grove City Code allows individuals to serve on various commissions for three consecutive two -year
terms and the Planning Commission for two consecutive three -year terms. An initial term of more than 12 months
counts as one term. Term limits do not apply to the Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation. 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."
As adopted by Council policy in 2011:
• Generally, Commissioners shall be reappointed to the Commission that they serve on if they are not term
limited, have served in accordance with attendance requirements and express a desire to continue
serving.
The following commissioners have expressed interest in serving another term.
1. Two -year terms: March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2014:
a. Linda Lundstrom and Kathleen Washenberger to the Human Services /Human Rights
Commission
b. Ron Kath and Mark Nelson to the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
c. David Barkow to the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Commission
d. Rick Chase, Barbara Gibson, Patrick Lynch, David Olson and Rosemary Palmer to the
Environmental Commission
e. Jason Field and Alex Chernyaev to the Public Works Commission
f. Herb Japs, Lorraine Brown, Beverly Gross and Leon Peterson to the Advisory Committee on
Historic Preservation
2. Three -year term: March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2015:
a. Brian Pearson, Randall Wehrle and Lise' Rediske to the Planning Commission
2. One -year term: March 17, 2012 through March 16, 2013:
Jenna Nutzman to the Human Rights Commission (student seat)
Ryan Simmers, Ken Boyden and William Royce have served three consecutive terms. The Council liaisons to the
Commissions that they serve on are recommending that they not be extended one term beyond the limit, as
provided for in the City Code.
Benjamin Franczok has served three consecutive terms. The Council liaison to the Public Safety, Health &
Welfare Commission is recommending that he be extended one term beyond the limit, as provided for in the City
Code. However, Ben has declined that request for personal reasons.
The following commissioners have declined serving another term or are term limited. These seats shall be
considered vacant and staff will begin the recruitment process to fill those openings.

b. Ryan Simmers (term limited) to the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission
