Shorewood Needs You! - On a Commission

1/11/12

Shorewood has two Parks Commissioner and two Planning Commissioner slots up for appointment. These are three-year appointments to these important commissions which do much of the hard work leading up to the City Council taking actions.

The Insider passionately encourages residents to apply for these openings by sending a note of interest and a short bio to Brian Heck at city hall and bheck@ci.shorewood.mn.us.

There will be competition from commissioners who are seeking re-appointment. Both Parks Commissioners are re-applying and one of the Planning Commissioners is re-applying. Will new applicants get a fair shake? The Insider has seen evidence of the Mayor stacking the deck with her supporters, but the Insider suggests that residents who are independent thinkers and committed to the city apply anyway. The city needs your unbiased help.

Happy Reading!

  1. Applications are being taken for Park and Planning Commission openings, but you don’t have to submit a resume and you only have to be 18 years of age to apply and be a resident! The Commissioners don’t do any “hard” work. They review the work that staff has put in to all concerns and projects and they then pass it on to Council with their “recommendations” which are actually the recommendations of the staff that have done all the “hard” work on the subject matter!! So you see, you really don’t need any qualifications and don’t worry about showing up at any city events, because the current Commissioners don’t! All you have to do is simply take a bow in the eyes of the public!

  2. Hey Anonymous...how about you get yourself appointed to one of those commissions? Sounds like you could up the ante on how much work they actually do.
