As stated previously on this forum, applications for the Met Council seats are available at the Secretary of State web site, and are due by January 10. Public Hearings will be held January 21, 22, 28, and 29, last that I heard. The nominating committee will make recommendations to the governor about the appointments, but he is not bound by them. There was not an application process to be on the nominating committee - people were recommended to the governor by legislators around the metro area, and he chose the people. The nominating committee is required to have at least 3 local elected officials.
