Joint Airport Zoning Board (JABZ) for Lake Elmo Airport April 7, 2009, City Council Meeting Page 2 Participation/Membership on the JABZ: As the JABZ is not organized under the joint powers organization statute, there is no requirement that the City's members on the Board be City councilmembers. The Council may appoint anyone to be its representatives on the Board. The Council may wish to consider a member of the Planning Commission, a resident or owner of business property near the airport, a member of the City Council, or a Lake Elmo resident for appointment to the Board. While only an action (i.e., a motion) of the Council to appoint members to the Board is necessary to join the JABZ, staff suggests that if the Council take action to join by a resolution authorizing the City to join the JABZ, requiring that the MAC indemnify the City for its participation on the JABZ, and appointing the two members to the Board.
