Gov. Tim Pawlenty has asked a Forest Lake woman to take part in the efforts of the Metropolitan Council Nominating Committee this month. Sherry Broecker is one of seven state residents selected by the governor last week to assist with the process. The Metropolitan Council Nominating Committee recommends candidates for the Metropolitan Council to the governor. The terms of all 16 members of the Metropolitan Council expired in January 2007. The nominating committee will conduct a public hearing to accept statements from, or on behalf of, applicants for the Metropolitan Council. The public hearing will take place at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 29 in the Metropolitan Council Chambers, located at 390 North Robert Street in St. Paul.
