Mounds View EDA December 14, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br />Appointing Members to the Economic Development Commission (EDC). 86 <br /> 87 <br />Commissioner Mueller asked staff to contact the other two applicants to see if they are willing to 88 <br />serve on another commission. Assistant Clerk-Administrator Crane advised that one applicant is 89 <br />being recommended for appointment to the Planning Commission and the other can be contacted. 90 <br /> 91 <br />President Flaherty noted the person recommended for reappointment as the resident member 92 <br />already serves on the Planning Commission. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated 93 <br />she had asked whether the other applicant was interested in serving on the Charter Commission 94 <br />and she will follow up with both applicants after tonight’s meeting. President Flaherty stated his 95 <br />preference to have more people engaged in appointments and while he understands the EDC 96 <br />recommendation, he is looking at the larger picture. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz 97 <br />stated from her observation, this person prefers serving on the EDC over the Planning 98 <br />Commission but would understand the President’s desire to give other applicants a chance. 99 <br /> 100 <br />AMENDMENT MOTION: Flaherty/. To amend the motion to appoint Andrew Johnson as the 101 <br />EDC resident member. Motion failed for lack of a second. 102 <br /> 103 <br />Vice President Stigney stated he understands the concern and perhaps the City should have a 104 <br />policy in how to deal with multiple seats. President Flaherty concurred with this suggestion. 105 <br /> 106 <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Flaherty) Motion carried. 107 <br /> 108 <br />8. REPORTS 109 <br /> A.
