6.a) Staff Report-EDA ExpansionSCANDIA Staff RepoVt Date of Meeting: January 20, 2015 To: City Council From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Re: Amend EDA Resolution to Increase Membership Background: The City Council created the EDA in May 2013. The enabling resolution called for five members, two of which would be Council members. The EDA recommended to the Council at their November meeting to increase the size to seven members so that two citizen members could be added. In December the City Council passed a resolution calling for a public hearing in January to amend the enabling resolution. The notice of the public hearing ran for two consecutive weeks in the Country Messenger as provided by law. Issue: Should the Council approve the resolution to increase the size of the EDA to seven? Proposal Details: A resolution providing for the enabling resolution to be amended and allow seven commissioners on the EDA is included in your packet. The resolution provides for one of the new members to serve a one year term and the other new member a two year term; thereafter the positions would be filled for six years. Alternatively, the Council could decide to appoint one or both of the members to a six year term right from the start. Fiscal Impact: NA Options: 1) Approve Resolution 1-20-15-04 2) Amend and then Approve Resolution 1-20-15-04 3) Take no action on Resolution 1-20-15-04
