IMEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
IFROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager
1 DATE: May 2, 1991
SUBJ: Regional Transit Board Nomination, Councilman Tom Workman
1 Councilwoman Dimler has asked that I place this item on to the City Council agenda in hopes of receiving 9
a resolution supporting Tom Workman's application to sit on the Regional Transit Board. The designations .
I are made by the Metropolitan Council on a two year basis with representation for our district, District G,
anticipated to be made in the near future. No other application has been received from a resident of
Chanhassen.
IHopefully the Council will not be offended by my placing this item on the Consent Agenda. Given the strong
working relationship which has developed within the Council itself,this office felt comfortable including it as
a consent item, i.e. authorizing staff/Mayor to prepare/sign a resolution in support of Councilman
IWorkman's application to the Regional Transit Board.
Two additional points:
I - Association of Metropolitan Municipalities: Under state statute, the Metropolitan Council is
to consider the endorsement of AMM for these types of appointments. The process
I appears to be aimed at ensuring that cities within a particular district attempt to work
together to select a representative which is acceptable to a majority of those cities. I have
asked that the agenda for the AMM Board meeting this evening be amended to include
Tom's endorsement. Their staff will be distributing a memorandum supporting Councilman
I
Workman's nomination. I have discussed this with a majority of the Board members and
I anticipate their endorsement;
1 - Legislative Recommendations: The Mayor,Councilwoman Dimler and I will be meeting with
our legislators Monday morning. I would anticipate that the Mayor and Councilwoman
Dimler will be successful in achieving support from Representative Kelso and Senator
1 Johnston for Tom's nomination.
