Also requested is the reappointment of three (3) current EDC members and appointments of three (3) new EDC members and one (1) member appointment to the proposed Ex-officio status. On July 30 and August 27 an advertisement was run in the Prior Lake American requesting applicants for the Economic Development Committee. six applicants were interviewed on September 19 by Mayor Andren, City Manager Unmacht, and Assistant City Manager Schmudlach. A reinterview of the three (3) current EDC members was not made. An unanimous recommendation was made by the committee to reappoint Mr. Barsness, Mr. Hill, and Ms. VanDenBoom because of their experience with economic development issues in Prior Lake. The committee also recommended three individuals for appointment to the EDC. The committee recommends Ray Lemley Sr., William Packer and Steve Nielson be appointed to the EDC at this time.
