RE: 2013 BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Dear Administrator Johnson,
With the approach of the New Year, I would like to draw your attention to the appointment process for
the Dakota Communications Center Board of Directors.
In accordance with DCC by-laws, Directors and Alternate Directors are appointed for two year terms.
Five members are required to appoint in January of even-numbered years,while the other seven members
appoint in January of odd-numbered years. In 2013,the cities of Farmington,Hastings, Inver Grove
Heights, Mendota Heights,Rosemount, South St. Paul and West St. Paul are required to appoint a named
elected official to serve as a Director and to designate another named elected official to serve as an
Alternate.
Directors and Alternates may be reappointed at the discretion of the member.
In addition to the members who must appoint Directors and Alternates in January, 2013,Apple Valley,
Burnsville,Dakota County,Eagan and Lakeville may need to make appointments in the event that a
current Director or Alternate is leaving elected office or because of your governing board's appointment
practices.
The current Director for Rosemount is Councilmember Jeff Weisensel and your current Alternate
Director is Mayor Bill Droste. For 2013, quarterly meeting dates will continue as approved at the
October,2012 Board meeting. Board meetings are held on the third Thursday of the designated month at
8:00 AM in the DCC Training Room unless otherwise noted.
I would appreciate it if you would include DCC Board appointments on your January,2013 City Council
agenda for action, followed by notification to the DCC of the action taken.
Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions regarding DCC Board appointment requirements.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and your continuing efforts on behalf of the Dakota
