9.k) Res. 12-16-14-07 Resolution Calling for Public Hearing -- EDA Enabling Resolution
RESOLUTION NO.12-16-14-07
A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON A MODIFICATION
TO THE ENABLING RESOLUTION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Scandia, Minnesota (the
“City”) as follows:
Section 1. EDA Membership. The City established the Economic Development Authority
of the City of Scandia, Minnesota (the “EDA”) pursuant to Resolution No. 05-21-13-01, adopted by the
Council on May 21, 2013 (the “Enabling Resolution”), and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.90 through
469.1081, as amended (the “Act”). The EDA’s Board of Commissioners currently consists of five
members, two of whom are also members of this Council. It has been proposed to amend the Enabling
Resolution to increase the Board of Commissioners of the EDA to seven members, of which at least two
members must also be members of this Council. Section 469.095, Subdivision 3 of the Act allows for an
EDA to be increased from five to seven members by a resolution adopted by the Council following the
procedure provided for modifying the Enabling Resolution in Section 469.093 of the Act.
Section 2. Public Hearing. To modify the Enabling Resolution, a resolution must be
adopted after a public hearing is held, identical to the process for the initial adoption of the Enabling
Resolution. This Council shall hereby meet on Tuesday, January 20, 2015, at or after 7:00 p.m., to hold a
public hearing on the modification of the Enabling Resolution, for the primary purpose of increasing the
membership of the Board of Commissioners of the EDA from five to seven members (the “Public
Hearing”). Additional modifications to the Enabling Resolution may be proposed at the Public Hearing
and ratified at a later date.
Section 3. Notice of Public Hearing. Notice of the Public Hearing related to the proposed
modification to the Enabling Resolution for the EDA shall be published in a newspaper of general
circulation within the City once a week for two consecutive weeks. The first publication must appear not
more than 30 days from the date of the Public Hearing. The form of the Public Hearing notice is attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Scandia, Minnesota this 16th day of
December, 2014.
