MEETING DATE: July 22, 2013
AGENDA #: 5J
PREPARED BY: Frank Boyles, City Manager
PRESENTED BY: Frank Boyles
AGENDA ITEM: Consider Approvai of a Motion to Declare a Vacancy on the Economic
Development Authority (EDA)
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to declare a vacancy on the Prior Lake
EDA, create the Screening Committee and approve posting the vacancy.
Hi StOry
Bob Morris applied for and was appointed to the Prior Lake EDA on
January 3, 2011 for a term to expire on December 31, 2016. Mr. Morris
advised the staff a few weeks ago of his intent to resign as he and his wife
will be relocating out of the City. The staff did not place this item on the
City Council agenda prior to this time because a written resignation notice
has not been received.
Current Circumstances
We have still been unable to secure a letter of resignation from Mr. Morris.
He has missed the last finro EDA meetings as well as Technology Village
Board of Director meetings. Section 3.4 of the EDA bylaws provide that,
"All final determinations as to whether a vacancy exists shall be made by �
the President of the EDA..." At the conclusion of the EDA meeting on July
15, 2013, EDA President Hedberg recognized the vacancy. At the same
meeting the EDA appointed Commissioner Chromy to serve as the EDA
member on the Screening Committee.
Conclusion
The City Council should determine if it wishes to move forward with the
replacement of Mr. Morris.
ISSUES: The EDA is a five-member body. In addition, Mr. Morris fulfilled leadership
positions on the Broadband Subcommittee and Technology Village Board
of Directors. The EDA should operate with a full complement of inembers.
FINANCIAL The cost implications have to do with meeting per diems which are
