Home My WebLink About9B EDA Appointment Report4646 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: PRESENTED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: APRIL 10, 2017 9B FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER FRANK BOYLES CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPOINTING AN INDIVIDUAL TO SERVE ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Introduction The City Council is asked to interview and then consider if it wishes to make an appointment of an individual to serve on the Economic Development Authority through December 31, 2022. History Michelle Choudek resigned from the EDA December 31, 2016. Applications were solicited and four applications were received. In accordance with the EDA bylaws, a screening committee consisting of the Mayor Kirt Briggs, EDA Commissioner Dave Chromy and Annie Sheehan- Kerber, Community Development Specialist Casey McCabe and myself inter- viewed Jim Audas, Marie Boucher-Hoese, Lloyd Erbaugh and Ronald Martin. The screening committee narrowed the field as directed in the bylaws to three final applicants consisting of Jim Audas, Marie Boucher-Hoese and Lloyd Erbaugh. The four candidates, Ron Martin was asked and agreed to serve on the Economic Development Advisory Committee(EDAC). Current Circumstances Attached are the applications submitted by the Audas, Boucher-Hoese and Erbaugh to support their candidacy to the EDA. The City Council will interview all three candidates beginning at 6:15 p.m. on April 10, 2017 in the City Coun- cil Chambers just prior to the City Council meeting. The candidates should be afforded the opportunity at the onset to make a five- minute presentation to the City Council regarding his/her qualifications and reasons for seeking the EDA post. Following this presentation, the City Council should ask questions of the can- didates with respect to service on the EDA. If, at the conclusion of the interviews, the Mayor and Council believe they have sufficient information to proceed, it would be appropriate for the Mayor to make the appointment and for the City Council to approve it if they concur as part of agenda item 9A. (If the Council desires, this item could be moved up on the agenda as a cour- 2 tesy to any who may be waiting.) ISSUES: This appointment would be for the remainder of the six year EDA term which expires on December 31, 2022. (Terms for councilmembers service on the EDA are coterminous with their terms of office.) This appointment would return the EDA to its full complement of three businesspersons/residents and two councilors. The EDA is presently composed of President Dave Chromy, Vice President Zach Braid, Mayor Kirt Briggs and resident Annie Sheehan Kerber. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no appreciable financial impact by appointing a person to fill the exist- ing EDA opening. Per diems are budgeted and paid for EDA members. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt a resolution reflecting the Mayor’s appointment and the City Council confirmation. 2. The City Council takes no action and provides direction to solicit additional applicants.
