The Economic Development Commission (EDC) is comprised of seven members – three business
representatives and four resident representatives. The terms are three years. Donn Lindstrom and
Jeff Moritko’s terms expire December 31, 2023. According to the Mounds View City Code Section
408.03:

on the recommendation of the Economic Development Commission,
from the applications submitted. Members shall have diverse
qualifications with practical experience consisting of, not limited to,
but including one (1) of the following areas: economics, finance,

While Jeff Moritko is reapplying for another term as a Business Representative, Donn Lindstrom has
not submitted his application and has notified the EDC that this will be his last term. However,
Andrew Kovacs has submitted his application for a Resident Representative.

Representative opening. The EDC considered the applications at their November 21st meeting and
they are recommending that the EDA consider appointing Jeff Moritko as the Business
Representative and Andrew Kovacs as the Resident Representative to the EDC with their terms
starting January 1, 2024 and expiring December 31, 2026.
