Comm. Ninutes--January 2, 1990 409 27. PORTFOLIO ASSIGNMENTS, Chanqe in Plannin~ commission Hr. Shannon said the agenda item on board appointments reminded him to ask if anyone wishes to change 1990 portfolio assignments. Mrs. Toussaint recommended more rural representation on the County Planning Commission and suggested that they meet prior to County Commission meetings. Rural Commissioner Don Eckert resigned from the Planning Commission last year because of other responsibilities then, including being chairman of the County Commission, he said. Mr. Shannon suggested that all Commissioners could attend Planning Commission meetings but only two would be members as provided by State law. He suggested concentrating the bulk of in-house obligations for Commissioners to Mondays and Tuesdays. Mr. Shannon suggested that Commissioner Alon Wieland be appointed to the County Planning Commission, and that he propose legislation to change the membership, which is mostly municipal because the at- large membership follows County Commission district boundaries. Commissioners Shannon and Toussaint tendered their resignations from the Cass County Planning Commission. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to appoint Commissioners Don Eckert and Alon Wieland to the Cass County Planning Commission in place of Commissioners Shannon and Toussaint, with all Commissioners attending Planning Commission meetings whenever possible; and suggesting that the Planning Commission meetings be held on the first Tuesday of each month at 8:00 a.m. in the Commission Room effective February 1, 1990. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 28. METROPOLITAN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, County representation A memo was received from Brian D. Shorten, Executive Director of the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments, requesting annual certification of each member and alternate.
