Voting members are appointed by the EDA President"with the approval of the"EDA. The terms of Cindy Carlson(current Chair, and business representative), Tom Field (resident) and Wendy Marty(resident)technically expired on 12-31-98. Ms. Carlson just completed a two year term. Mr. Field was appointed (on October 13, 1997)to complete the remainder of someone else's term, so he has served for a little more than a year. Ms. Marty was also appointed (on July i 27, 1998)to fill the remainder of someone else's term, so she has served for about 6 months. I have spoken with each of them about the expiration of their terms, and all of them are very interested in continuing to serve on the EDC. It is my understanding that EDA President Coughlin has also spoken with each of these individuals, and that he is prepared to recommend to his fellow EDA Commissioners that Ms. Carlson, Mr. Field and Ms. Marty be reappointed. Each of these three appointments (or reappointments)would be for a full three year term. Incidentally, the other two of our three business representatives (Brian Sjoberg and Ron Schmidt) have"unofficially" resigned. Mr. Schmidt apparently sold his interest in the Amoco station, and Mr. Sjoberg has indicated that his increasingly busy schedule no longer leaves sufficient time for EDC business. There are two years left on Mr. Sjoberg's term, and one year left on Mr. Schmidt's term. We are in the process of soliciting applications from members of the business community, and we anticipate that staff and EDA President Coughlin may be in a position to recommend candidates for the two vacancies in question in the near future.
