ITEM #:
AGENDA ITEM: Washington County HRA Economic Development Bill
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
Council will receive a presentation from the Washington County HRA regarding their bill in the
state legislature to add economic development activities to their organization. After the
presentation and questions from the Council the Council should discuss the resolution. Staff is
not looking for approval at this meeting but the resolution could be placed on the May 17th
agenda. The last day for the state legislature to pass any bills, without going to special session, is
May 22nd so the May 17th meeting would be the last opportunity for the City of Lake Elmo to
weigh in on this issue.
Additional background materials, memo, and resolution from the HRA are included in your
packet.
