Mr. Erar stated that this is the State Statute governing the EDA. Commissioner Jacobson stated
that the lowest amount they could be compensated would be $1.00. Ifit is a legal requirement
that they have been missing and ifthey have to do it he moves that they make the pay at $1.00
per meeting for the Councilmembers because their regular City Council pay is adequate enough
to cover the EDA meetings.
Commissioner Trude stated they also have resident members attending the meetings. She stated
that Park Commission members and the Planning Commission members get a nominal stipend so
she suggests giving the EDA resident members a stipend also. Mr. Hawkins stated that resident
members could be compensated based on other Commission pay.
Commissioner Trude suggested that staff should look into this and see what other cities are
doing. She thinks they should do something for the resident volunteers who are offering their
time. Mr. Hawkins stated the Council makes the determination if it feels they are being
adequately compensated. If someone is not on the City Council they could be paid the same rate -
as the Park Commission and the Planning Commission. The Council could adopt that by
resolution but it would need to be adopted at the next City Council meeting because City Council
has been adjourned for the night.
,
'~ __J
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to direct the City Administrator to prepare a resolution
indicating Councilmembers serving on the EDA would not receive additional compensation but
Voting Resident Members would receive the same compensation as the Park Commissioners.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting
adjourned at 9:33 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Osbeck, Recording Secretary
