Mounds View EDA February 25, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />6. CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />7. EDA BUSINESS <br /> <br /> A. Resolution 08-EDA-243, Election and Appointment of Officers of the <br />Authority <br /> <br />Interim Executive Director Ericson noted that Vice President Stigney had brought up that the <br />bylaws were not being followed relating to the appointment of officers. Staff has reviewed the <br />bylaws and determined that they are not consistent with Minnesota Statutes. He then said that <br />the appointments can be made that need to occur and Staff can come back with a <br />recommendation for necessary amendments. <br /> <br />The Authority added Mr. Stigney as Vice President. <br /> <br />Vice President Stigney indicated that he would like to wait on appointing the Treasurer until the <br />duties are determined and the necessary amendments to the bylaws are made. <br /> <br />Interim Executive Director Ericson agreed that those appointments could wait until the issues are <br />resolved. <br /> <br />Attorney Riggs indicated that he would review the Statute for a recommendation. He then said <br />that he just revised another city’s enabling resolution and that is more difficult than amending <br />bylaws. He then said that there are about six locations in the bylaws that should be amended, but <br />it should not take long for the revisions to be made and presented to the Authority for <br />consideration. He further said that he does not believe that appointment of officers would be <br />affected by changes necessary to the bylaws. <br /> <br />Vice President Stigney said that he would like to know what the Statute stated when this was <br />established. <br /> <br />Attorney Riggs indicated that the statute shows that the provisions were adopted in 1987 and <br />have not been changed since then. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller. To Postpone Appointments to a Future EDA Meeting to <br />Allow Time for Researching this Matter. <br /> <br />Commissioner Flaherty asked what takes precedent. <br /> <br />Attorney Riggs indicated that the State Statute is what needs to be followed.
