Board and Commission Interviews (round 2) II.B. Retreat follow up regarding transportation and housing framework 1 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Linda Manning, City Clerk DATE OF MEMO: July 11, 2019 MEETING DATE: July 15, 2019 RE: Citizen board appointments (round 2) City Council has been conducting board interviews for various citizen boards twice a year, typically in January and July. In the past, not all boards have been interviewed by Council including the Animal Shelter, Building Code Board of Appeals and the Kid’s First Board. Mayor Torre has indicated that he would like Council to interview all perspective board members. To be consistent with how board interviews have happened in the past and due to the number of applicants for each board, staff is recommending that Council interview all members for each board at the same time instead of conducting individual interviews. Included in the packet for each board will be a list of the current members, the most recent ordinance or code section as well as bylaws if available. 2 Wheeler Board of Directors 1 regular member opening 7 regular members, 1 alternate member and 1 ex officio member Current Members Chip Fuller – chair – reapplying Tom Kurt – expires 2020 Richard Stettner – expires 2022 Christine Benedetti – vice chair – expires 2023 Nina Gabianelli – expires 2020 Amy Mountjoy – expires 2023 Ziska Childs –

  • John Cleveland Osgood: American Entrepreneur
    John Cleveland Osgood: American Entrepreneur John Cleveland Osgood was born in 1851 in Brooklyn New York. With the death of his parents at a young age, Osgood and his three brothers and sisters were passed between relatives, attending public schools in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Osgood dropped out of school at age 14 and took an apprenticeship in a Rhode Island cotton mill. At age 16, he returned to New York and took a job with the William Ladd Produce Commission Firm while enrolled in night classes at the Peter Cooper Institute studying business and industry. While there, Osgood met A.D. Moss, an assistant manager for the Colorado Coal Company. Impressed with the young man’s determination to succeed, Moss recommended Osgood for a job at the Union Mining Company in Ottumwa, Iowa. Although still a teenager, Osgood realized the fortunes that could be made in the coal industry. By the time of his twenties, Osgood saved enough money to purchase the financially troubled White Breast Mining Company, turning its stocks around to become profitable. Under Osgood’s leadership, the company managed to keep its contract as the major supplier of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Shortly after his 31st birthday, Osgood was sent to Colorado to prospect and inspect potential new coal mine purchases and under developed fuel deposits for his employer. “He reportedly inspected every coal mine in the state, but it was the rich bituminous coal, uncovered by an avalanche, that commanded his full attention.”1 Seeing the potential for making a lot of money in this new endeavor, Osgood broke ties with the White Breast Coal Company and formed a new enterprise, the Colorado Fuel Company.
