To: Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission
From: Zac Dockter, Parks and Recreation Director
CC: Derrick Lehrke, Council Liaison
Date: February 25, 2013
Subject: New Commissioners
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission is in need of a new Chairperson due to the
term expiration of long-serving Chairman Paul Poncin. Councilman Lehrke recommends the
appointment of Mark Nelson as Chair of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission.
Mark has honorably served on the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission since March
of 2011. During this time Mark has proven to be a strong advocate for Parks and Recreation in Cottage
Grove and shown a willingness to serve towards the betterment of the community. He has provided
valuable feedback and direction on all subject matters and is thoughtful in his deliberation.
Mark has also shown the ability to lead by serving as Vice Chair this past year. As such, he has
operated meetings in the absence of the Chair and will likely transition to the Chair position with relative
ease. Further, Mark has taken an active role in developing the Commission's Work Plan, the Parks and
Recreation Referendum project, the pool building redesign project and also regularly attends All
Commission Meetings to be a more informed Commissioner.
Recommendation
Appoint Mark Nelson as Chair of the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission.
