Item No. <br /> Staff Report No. <br /> Meeting Date: 1-25-99 <br /> Type of Business: EDA <br /> WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: EDA President and Commissioners <br /> From: Kevin Carroll, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> Item Title/Subject: EDC Vacancies <br /> Date of Report: January 22, 1999 <br /> Summary: <br /> The EDC is composed of seven voting members, including three business representatives and <br /> four residents, along with one nonvoting member(i.e., the EDA's designated liaison to the <br /> EDC). Voting members are appointed by the EDA President"with the approval of the" EDA. <br /> The terms of Cindy Carlson(current Chair, and business representative), Tom Field (resident) and <br /> Wendy Marty(resident)technically expired on 12-31-98. Ms. Carlson just completed a two year <br /> term. Mr. Field was appointed (on October 13, 1997)to complete the remainder of someone <br /> else's term, so he has served for a little more than a year. Ms. Marty was also appointed (on July <br /> 27, 1998) to fill the remainder of someone else's term, so she has served for about 6 months. I <br /> have spoken with each of them about the expiration of their terms, and all of them are very <br /> interested in continuing to serve on the EDC. It is my understanding that EDA President <br /> Coughlin has also spoken with each of these individuals, and that he is prepared to recommend to <br /> his fellow EDA Commissioners that Ms. Carlson, Mr. Field and Ms. Marty be reappointed. Each <br /> of these three appointments (or reappointments)would be for a full three year term. <br /> Incidentally, the other two of our three business representatives (Brian Sjoberg and Ron Schmidt) <br /> have"unofficially" resigned. Mr. Schmidt apparently sold his interest in the Amoco station, and <br /> Mr. Sjoberg has indicated that his increasingly busy schedule no longer leaves sufficient time for <br /> EDC business. There are two years left on Mr. Sjoberg's term, and one year left on Mr. Schmidt's <br /> term. We are in the process of soliciting applications from members of the business community, <br /> and we anticipate that staff and EDA President Coughlin may be in a position to recommend <br /> candidates for the two vacancies in question in the near future. <br /> Recomme dation: <br /> Sta R ecommen•. adoption of pr•p•.ed Resolution 99-EDA-101 (attached). <br /> • <br /> K '• Carroll ( 7-4029) <br /> Economic Develo• ent Coordinator <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\ECONDEV\EDA-EDC\012599.MEM <br />
