Three (3) At -Large Members (may be either City residents, or business owners) may be invited to serve on the Panel. Interested individuals shall submit a letter and application to the Council explaining their role in the community and interest in serving on the Advisory Panel. Depending on the level of interest, the Council may choose to decrease or increase the number of at -large members. Locally Elected Officials are precluded from serving on this Panel where they directly represent a given city or county's interest. In the case of these public organizations — such as cities or school districts — appointment of staff, volunteers, or other appointed officials to their respective bodies is requested. For example: The City of Stillwater may appoint their Planning Commission Chair who is a non -elected person but is appointed by the City Council. In circumstances where there is a "joint -powers" organization such as the MSCWMO or WCCDA, appointment of Staff or Non -elected officials is preferred. However, this may result on overtime expenses or budgetary constraints that may preclude participation. If such staff or other volunteer is not available and if such JPA board members are elected individuals, the City Council may evaluate these on a case-by-case basis so as to ascertain their underlying entity and relationships. Any person so appointed would be expected to clearly represent the joint -powers entity, not their primary jurisdiction. Appointment of Co -Chairs: The City Council also desires the appointment of CC of the process in the event one person cannot attend. move forward and to facilitate the discussion and pres CHAIR position acts only as manager to ensure the p: any given position. -C ons so as to better ensure continuity The � to -chair" is to ensure the meetings M and in ildt�ed time.
