IV. REVIEW AND COMMEND ON PROPOSED BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE BYLAWS.
After discussing the proposed Business Development Committee bylaws, the
Committee made several recommendations to the City Council.
A motion by Nat Wisser, seconded by Mike Sweeney, that the committee name
of Economic Development Committee be retained because most cities use
Economic Development Committees to advise the City Council on business
development issues. Wes Mader abstained. The motion carried.
The Committee also asked for clarification on whether changing the name was
in essence creating a new committee, with new terms and board members.
Motion by Nat Wisser, seconded by Jeannie Robbins that the Chair be appointed
by the Committee and/or that the Committee recommend the chair appointment
to the City Council. Wes Mader abstained. The motion carried.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Motion by Jeannie Robbins, seconded by Larry Greenfield, that the Committee
consist of nine members in order to be able to reach a quorum at meetings. Six
yeas (Jeannie Robbins, Larry Greenfield, Nat Wisser, Mike Sweeney and Dar
Fosse) and one nay (Wes Mader). The motion carried.
Motion by Jeannie Robbins, seconded by Wes Mader, that the last paragraph of
Article IT, Section B, be stricken. The Committee expressed concern that a
formal review of volunteer committee members may inhibit citizen participation
on boards and commissions. The motion included a recommendation that the
Chair forward performance evaluations informally to the Mayor or the Mayor's
designee as appropriate. The motion carried.
V. 1994 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Committee approved the proposed evaluation form for Advanced
Resources. Committee members will complete the form and forward to Bonnie
Carlson by April 15, 1994.
VI. 2010 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES
The Committee was apprised of the study commissioned by the City Council on
Potential Business and Industrial Zones to be conducted by Blair Tremere of
Public Affairs Consulting. Mr. Tremere will review his draft report with the
Planning Commission and EDC prior to completing the final report.
VII. DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT CONTACTS:
The EDC reviewed the memo from staff on recent development contacts.
Committee members suggested that since Prior Lake doesn't offer the railroad
spur required by Rainbow Play Systems, the City and Rainbow Play System
issue a joint press release when Rainbow announces their plan to relocate. Chair
Bob Barsness will coordinate this effort with Rainbow.
VIII. CHAMBER UPDATE
Carrie Nelson, Chamber Director, updated the EDC on new memberships and
Lakefront Days.
IX. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Dar Fosse moved, seconded by Jeannie
Robbins, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried.
