10.d Appointments to Economic Development Authority Board Staff Report
Date of Meeting: March 18, 2025
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Kyle Morell, City Administrator
Subject: Appointments to EDA Board
Background:
The City Council, acting as the EDA, decided to see if any residents or business owners would be
interested in serving on the EDA. Nine applications were received, and six people were
interviewed. It was determined that enough qualified applicants applied that they directed
staff to revise the EDA By-Laws, removing the Council as the EDA and allowing appointed
residents or business owners to serve as EDA Commissioners.
The Council was asked to rank the interviewees. The results are below.
The Council must appoint five candidates from this list to the EDA Board. These appointees will
serve alternating six-year terms. In addition to appointing five residents or business owners and
two City Council members, the terms of the Council members will be equal to their terms as
Council members.
