WWW.C1.ANDOVER,MN,US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: John Erar, EDA Executive Director SUBJECT: Appointment of Officers - Economic Development Authority DATE: January 2, 2001 INTRODUCTION Pursuant to state law, the appointment and term of EDA Commission members is prescribed under M.S. 469.005, subd, 2. Council appointed seven members to serve on the EDA, with two non-voting members of the Commission. \ DISCUSSION . ) EDA meeting minutes from January 2, 2001 indicated that City Council Members were appointed to serve as EDA Board members, along with two residents, A review of the minutes leaves it unclear as to length of term appointment, so my office has interpreted the appointment as initial one-year terms. Earlier this year, the Council reduced Commission size from nine (9) to seven (7) members as required under state law, and allowed two commissioners to remain on the Board as non-voting members. In keeping with statutory guidelines, Council members who are appointed as commissioners of an EDA may set the length of ED A appointment to coincide with the expiration of their Council terms. Residents who are appointed for initial terms, subject to state statute, shall be reappointed for six (6) year terms. Accordingly, Council may wish to appoint the following Council members and residents to the following terms.
