BACKGROUND When needed, interim appointments are made to various boards, committees, and commissions outside of the regular annual recruitment process. Originally called the East Alton Baker Park Planning Committee, and now renamed to Citizen Planning Committee for the Whilamut Natural Area of Alton Baker Park, the committee was created to prepare a plan to determine the appropriate mix of passive recreational uses for the Park. The committee is now charged with implementing that adopted plan. There are 15 at-large members, ten from Eugene, and five from Springfield. The Mayor nominates candidates; the City Council appoints from the Mayor's list. Both the current committee members and staff from the City of Eugene and Willamalane provided comments on the applicants and nominees. Five persons are to be appointed. RELATED CITY POLICIES There are no policy issues related to these appointments. COUNCIL OPTIONS The City Council can vote to approve the nominees; it can also request additional information or background on the applicants and delay the vote, or reject them entirely. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends approval of the proposed nominations. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to appoint Greg Ringer to Position 1 on the Citizen Planning Committee for the Whilamut Natural Area of Alton Baker Park for a three-year term beginning on November 1, 2004, and ending on October 31, 2007.
