<br />Item #: 7B <br />Meeting Date: January 18, 2024 <br />Type of Business: EDC <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Economic Development Commission <br />From: Brian Beeman, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: New Member Appointment Discussion <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The EDC received a commission application from Andrew Kovacs as a Resident Representative for the <br />2024-26 term. The EDA confirmed his appointment at its November 21, 2023 regular meeting. Multiple <br />attempts have been made to contact Mr. Kovacs using the information he put on his application. He <br />has not responded to emails, phone messages, letters, and recently, a certified letter was mailed. He <br />has until Monday January 15, 2024 to respond to the most recent attempt to contact him. As of the date <br />this staff report was written the City has not receive any communication from Mr. Kovacs. <br /> <br />When Mr. Kovacs applied for commissions in the City, he applied to every commission. Since, the EDC <br />had a Resident Representative opening at the time, he was selected to serve on the EDC. Without a <br />response, it is difficult to determine if he will be able to attend the 7:30 a.m. EDC meetings and this <br />could jeopardize the possibility of a full quorum at times. This puts staff and the commission in a <br />dilemma. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />The EDC should have a discussion to determine the next steps. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends the EDC discuss options and make a recommendation that staff can take to the <br />EDA. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> ____________________________ <br />Brian Beeman <br />Assistant City Administrator
