The terms on boards and commissions expire February 28, 2018, or until their successors are appointed and qualified. The city has advertised for volunteers interested in filling seats on the various boards and commissions. On January 29 and January 31, an interview panel consisting of Mayor Mars and Councilmember Kathi Mocol and the Vice Chairs from each of the boards and commissions interviewed a total of 13 applicants.

After reviewing the qualifications, the interview committee is making the following recommendations (*Incumbents):

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board - John Janke*, John Engler

Planning Commission/BOAA - Ashlee Sepulvado, Noreen Reding

Shakopee Public Utilities Commission - Mathew Meyer, Deb Amundson*

Police Civil Service Commission - Stan Von Bokern*

Staff will be advertising again for the Bicycle Advisory Committee as there are still three seats available.
