Consideration of EDA Resolution 07-EDA-227, Reappointing Torri Johnson, 54 <br /> Jason Helgemore, and Gary Meehlhouse to the Mounds View Economic 55 <br /> Development Commission 56 <br /> 57 <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman explained that three of the Economic 58 <br />Development Commission Members had terms expiring at the end of the year. 59 <br /> 60 <br />Executive Director Ulrich noted that the process calls for a formal recommendation and that 61 <br />technically was not done though we have willing candidates but no motion to make a 62 <br />recommendation. 63 <br /> 64 <br />Commissioner Mueller asked if this is different in that these people can request a term versus 65 <br />being appointed like the Planning Commission. 66 <br /> 67 <br />President Marty said the City generally reappoints acting commissioners unless there is a 68 <br />problem or an issue. 69 <br /> 70 <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman and the Commission explained that there are 71 <br />differences with this Commission because there are residents and business representatives from 72 <br />the City. He then said that there have been times that Staff had to go out and seek 73 <br />representatives. 74 <br /> 75 <br />Vice President Stigney asked if the City advertised for positions because that is usually the 76 <br />process for other positions on commissions/committees. He then said he would like to be 77 <br />consistent with the process for appointing representatives. 78 <br /> 79 <br />Executive Director Ulrich pointed out there were open seats on the other commissions from 80 <br />people resigning and in this instance the terms that were expiring had individuals who were 81 <br />interested in reapplying. 82 <br /> 83 <br />The Authority asked Staff to develop a policy to follow for appointments going forward for 84 <br />discussion at an upcoming work session. 85
