Mounds View EDA December 12, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br />may be difficult for the entire group to meet at 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hull agreed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mueller believed it was important for the EDA to meet prior to the City Council <br />meeting given the fact the group takes action on items that are then forwarded to the Council. <br />She stated she would go with the consensus of the group but believed this would be the best <br />option for the EDA. <br /> <br />Vice President Gunn agreed with Commissioner Mueller and saw the benefit of the EDA <br />meeting prior to the City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Executive Director Ericson commented it would benefit the EDA to hold meetings prior to the <br />City Council where items needed both EDA and Council approval. Otherwise, he suggested <br />EDA meetings be held after City Council meetings. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer asked if EDA meetings were impacted by City Code. Executive Director <br />Ericson reported this was not the case. <br /> <br />Vice President Gunn stated the new Council Member may not be able to meet at 5:30 p.m. and <br />for this reason the EDA should meet after the Council meetings unless there was a timeliness to <br />the item being discussed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mueller feared that bouncing the EDA meeting time around would be confusing <br />for residents. She questioned how developers would be impacted by a wavering start time if an <br />EDA meeting did not start until the end of a City Council meeting. She suggested the Council <br />and EDA meeting times not be amended until after the new City Council Member was brought <br />on board. <br /> <br />Executive Director Ericson stated this item could be delayed until March. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mueller commented another option available would be to hold EDA meetings on <br />the third Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br />President Flaherty agreed the EDA meeting time should not waiver back and forth. <br /> <br />Executive Director Ericson commented on how City Code addressed City Council meeting start <br />time. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer asked if the City Council could recess from a regular meeting to an EDA <br />meeting. <br />
