ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 22, 2013
AGENDA #: 4B
PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community & Economic Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2013
DISCUSSION: Introduction
Article 5 of the EDA Bylaws state that the o�cers of the EDA shall be elected at
the first meeting of the year. Officers include President, Vice-President, Treas-
urer, Secretary, and Assistant Treasurer. The EDA's first meeting of the year is
on January 22, 2013.
Hi StOry
The 2012 elected EDA officers included: (1) Ken Hedberg as President; (2) Bob
Morris as Vice-President; (3) Jerilyn Erickson as Treasurer; (4) Frank Boyles as
Secretary; and (5) no designation for the Assistant Treasurer.
Current Circumstances
On January 7, 2013, the City Council appointed Mayor Ken Hedberg to �II one of
two council positions on the EDA. The other position will be filled by the council
once they have appointed the fifth person to fill the vacancy on the City Council.
That appointment will occur on January 28 followed by the swearing in of that
person on February 11.
Conclusion
The EDA has three options to consider: (1) elect officers from the four EDA
members at its first meeting of the year on January 22, or (2) elect officers from
the five EDA members at its second meeting of the year on February 19, or (3)
re-elect Mayor Hedberg as President for 2013, Frank Boyles as Secretary and
Jerilyn Erickson as Treasurer, but take no action on the Vice-President postion
until the second city council position on the EDA has been filled..
ISSUES: The EDA must decide whether or not to wait for 2013 officer elections once a full
5-member EDA is appointed by the City Council. If the second meeting is cho-
sen in order to have all five EDA members present, then the meeting minutes
will reflect that the 2012 officers will continue to be in place until that time. The
problem with the last option is that there is no opportunity for the second coun-
cilmember designated to the EDA to be president. In light of that fact the staff
would suggest that the matter be tabled to the February meeting.
FINANCIAL None
IMPACT:
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Elect all 2013 officers on January 22.
2. Table the election until February 19 with 2012 officers continuing until
then.
3. Make all appointments as outlined above, but defer appointment of the
vice-president until the second city council representative to the EDA is
designated.
RECOMMENDED Staff supports Alternative #2.
