1
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: March 21, 2023
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Anne Hurlburt, Interim City Administrator
Re: Set Public Hearing to Amend the Resolution Establishing the Scandia
Economic Development Authority (EDA)
Action Requested:
Set a public hearing on April 18, 2023 (regular Council meeting date) to consider amending the
resolution establishing the Scandia EDA.
Background:
On February 21, the City Council received a report recommending that the board of the Scandia
EDA be reconstituted to be the City Council. The Council voted to proceed with the changes
and directed the City Attorney to determine the process required.
The City Attorney has reviewed the relevant law and determined that modifying the resolution
establishing the EDA will require a public hearing, the same process as was required for its
adoption. Notice of the hearing must be given once a week for two consecutive weeks.
After the establishing resolution has been modified, the EDA Bylaws will also need to be
amended. A draft will be brought back to the Council for discussion at a later date.
Recommendations:
The Council should set the public hearing for April 18, 2023 and direct the City Clerk to publish
the required notice.
