Metropolitan Council Looking to Fill Vacancy on District 10 Seat

The Metropolitan Council  is seeking to fill its open seat for District 10, which represents Roseville and several other cities in Ramsey and Anoka counties. 

Interested persons who live in District 10 may fill out an online application form, or contact or visit the Secretary of State’s office at 180 State Office Building, 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Blvd., St. Paul, MN, 55155-1299.

Applications are due to the Secretary of State’s office by Sept. 24. Gov. Dayton’s Nominating Committee will review the applications and make a recommendation to the governor, who will make the appointment.

Besides Roseville, District 10 also includes the Anoka County cities of Blaine, Circle Pines and Lexington, and Ramsey County cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Shoreview, and Spring Lake Park.
Meanwhile, the Met Council is also seeking applicants for its Parks and Open Space Commission (MPOSC). All of the commission's nine seats are up for appointment in the wake of recent redistricting.

The Commission helps the Council develop long-range plans for the metro area’s system of regional parks, park reserves and trails.

Eight citizen members on the commission represent geographic districts in the region. The chair serves at large.

Interested individuals must return a completed application form  to the Secretary of State’s office by the end of the day on Sept. 24. They must also attend one of three public meetings in October to address the MPOSC Appointments Committee, composed of five members of the Metropolitan Council.
