NEW BUSINESS:
5. Resolution No. 2020-01 Confirming City Council Appointments and Designations.
Mr. Wysopal stated in their agenda packets there is a report prepared by Melissa Moore,
Administrative Services Coordinator and Deputy City Clerk, and Daniel Tienter, Director of
Finance and City Clerk/Treasurer. Staff has combined multiple resolutions into one. This is
required by the Fridley Charter so the City can inform the public about where to find information
such as the City’s designated official newspaper, bank depositories and staff appointments to
committees.
Mayor Lund stated he likes the layout of this.
Mr. Wysopal said it is a good measuring stick of the amount of involvement that goes on in the
City of Fridley for getting the job done.
Mayor Lund stated Mr. Wysopal is absolutely correct. Many people only see them on the air
twice a month and think that is the extent of their business. It certainly is not. There are a few
pages here of different positions filled by members of the Council, commissions, and others.
There is a lot of work that goes into this and a lot of it is pro bono.
MOTION by Councilmember Ostwald Adopting Resolution No. 2020-01 Confirming City
Council Appointments and Designations. Seconded by Councilmember Eggert.
