OF MINNESOTA STATUTES, CHAPTER 469
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of the public hearing is to solicit resident input regarding a proposal
to amend the enabling resolution of the Prior Lake Economic Development
Authority (EDA) to expand the EDA from five to seven members as well as
additional amendments for correction and clarification purposes.
Hi StOry
A special City Council meeting was held on December 3, 2012 to interview
finalists for a position on the Economic Development Authority. Given the caliber
of applicants, the number of people interested and recognizing that additional
members could represent added resources for accomplishing economic
development objectives, City Council members discussed increasing the size of
the EDA from five to seven members.
On December 10, 2012, in addition to confirming David Chromy to the EDA, the
City Council directed staff and the City Attorney to modify the EDA Bylaws as
necessary to expand the EDA from five to seven members. The City Attorney
has completed proposed modifications to the EDA Bylaws, subject to approval of
amendments being approved to the EDA Enabling Resolution by the City
Council.
Minnesota Statutes 469.095 Subdivision 3 provides for an increase in
commission members. The subdivision states, "An authority may be increased
from three to five or seven members, or from five to seven members by a
resolution adopted by the city council following the procedure provided for
modifying the enabling resolution in section 469.093."
The statutory requirements set out in Minnesota Statutes 469.093, Procedural
Requirement, state:
Subd. 1. Enabling Resolution.
The creation of an authority by a city must be by written resolution referred to
as the enabling resolution. Before adopting the enabling resolution, the city
council shall conduct a public hearing. Notice of the time and place of hearing, a
statement of the purpose of the hearing, and a summary of the resolution must
be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the city once a week for
two consecutive weeks. The first publication must appear not more than 30 days
from the date of the public hearing.
Subd. 2. Modifications.
All modifications to the enabling resolution must be by written resolution and
must be adopted after notice is given and a public hearing conducted as required
for the original adoption of the enabling resolution.
On January 22, 2013, the EDA directed the City Attorney to prepare a resolution
amending the EDA Enabling Resolution to expand the EDA from five to seven
members for City Council review and consideration.
Current Circumstances
As presently constituted, the EDA is composed of five members; two members
appointed from among the City Council and three members appointed from
among individuals who either live in the City or who own a controlling interest in a
business located within the City.
The proposal is to revise the composition of the EDA to include seven persons, i
two of whom are City Council members and five of whom are residents or
business persons in Prior Lake. The City Council should conduct the public
hearing to determine if new information is offered in favor of or against expanding
the size of the EDA. Once all persons have been heard, the city council should
deliberate regarding the proposed amendments to the enabling resolution.
Conclusion
The City Council should determine if it concurs with the proposed amendments to
the EDA Enabling Resolution which will increase the size of the EDA from five to
seven members.
ISSUES: Should the City Council approve the amendments to the enabling resolution and
later at this meeting adopt bylaw amendments, the staff anticipates the following
timeline for filling the vacancies.
