9.i Discussion on EDA expiring term
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: June 18, 2019
To: City Council
From: Brenda Eklund, Deputy Clerk
Re: Economic Development Authority expiring term
Background: Mark Porubcansky’s term on the EDA Board expires on July 31, 2019. Mark was
appointed in May 2017 to fill Robert Feidt’s vacancy. At the June 10th EDA meeting, Mark
indicated that he would not seek reappointment to the Board. This will leave an opening for a
3-year term to expire on July 31, 2022.
Issue: Should notice of the vacancy be posted on the City website and Facebook page? The
deadline could be noticed to close on Friday, July 12 th so that applications could be reviewed for
the July 16th Council meeting and potential interviews scheduled, if needed. An appointment
should be made before the August 12th EDA meeting.
Options:
1. Post notice of the vacancy
2. Defer an appointment
Recommendation: Option 1
