Item #: 5A <br />Meeting Date: Dec 20, 2013 <br />Type of Business: EDC <br />To: Economic Development Commission <br />From: Jim Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Review Applications to the Economic Development <br />Commission, Make Appointment Recommendations to the <br />EDA <br />The Economic Development Commission is comprised of seven members—three business <br />representatives and four resident representatives. The terms are for three years and are <br />staggered to ensure continuity of service. At the end of this year, the terms for <br />Commissioners Dan Larson and Jennifer Wagner-Harkonen, both resident representatives, <br />will expire. Commissioner Wagner-Harkonen has decided not to reapply. <br />After posting notice online, on the Cable TV channel and in the City newspaper, two <br />applications were received from residents Dan Larson and Jessica Birken. Dan is currently <br />a member of the Commission and has been a resident for 25 years. Ms. Birken has <br />resided in Mounds View for nine years and would like to "give back to my community <br />through public service." Ms. Birken has been invited to attend the EDC's meeting so that <br />she may introduce herself and answer any questions the Commission may have. <br />Recommendation: <br />Review the two applications for seats on the Economic Development Commission and <br />make a recommendation to the EDA to fill the two vacant seats on the EDC. <br />��.` Gwtifr -tom <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />Attachments: <br />1.
