The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority is a six city Joint Powers Agreement through which transit services are delivered to participating municipalities under the "opt out" statutes. The agreement and the bylaws indicate that each member city must appoint one elected representative and one alternate staff member to the MVTA Board on an annual basis. Councilmember Tom Kedrowski has been the City's elected representative since the MVTA's inception. This year, however, Councilmember Kedrowski indicated that he wishes to resign his post. Therefore, one of the other four Councilmembers must be appointed. At the first City Council meeting in 1998 the City Council decided to wait until the vacant City Council seat was filled before making the appointment to the MVTA Board. The vacant City Council seat is now filled with the appointment of Dave Wuellner. Councilmember Wuellner has indicated his acceptance and desire to serve as the City's representative to the MVTA Board for 1998.
