DOC December 4, 1996 <<Company>> <<Address!>> <<Address2>> Dear <<FirstName>>: On behalf of the Mayor and City Council, congratulations on your recent appointment to the newly reconstituted Prior Lake Economic Development Authority. This letter confirms your appointment to a term ending December 31, <<Term>>. Attached for your information is a roster of Economic Development Authority members, together with their addresses and phone numbers for future reference. Also attached is a copy of the applicable Minnesota Statutes dealing with Economic Development Authority, a copy of the Prior Lake Economic Development Authority Bylaws, and Enabling Resolution. While I will ask the City Attorney to review these materials with you at our organizational meeting, you will find it helpful to scan throught the materials beforehand. I have also attached a draft agenda for the Economic Development Authority's organizational meeting. The agenda follows the same format as the City Council uses. Authority members can ultimately determine what format they wish to use and whether or not this agenda meets your expectations. I suggest that the Economic Development Committee conduct its first meeting in January, 1997. Since Mondays are reserved for City Council and Planning Commission, the EDA may wish to schedule its regular meetings for Wednesday. As a first meeting, you may wish to consider Wednesday, January 15th at 7:00 p.m. To get to know one another I will host a Reception for the five of you commencing at 6:30 p.m. A light dinner will be served. - 16200 Eh~fUH::;re~lf'AifeP~~., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ISSUES: ALTERNATIVES: EDAI22.DOC Five year term. Sally Schmidt Four year term - Roseann Campagnoli Three year term - Councilmember Tom Kedrowski Two year term - Councilmember Pete Schenck The rationale for the above appointments are as follows: Bob Barsness was a charter member of the Economic Development Committee, which was originally a privately chartered committee which evolved into the City's Economic Development Committee. He was instrumental in negotiating the purchase of the business park property. His business knowledge coupled with his experience on the EDC and later BDC provide him with strong qualifications for this position. Sally Schmidt is presently a member of the Lake Advisory Committee. Her business expertise is identifying the directions which corporations wish to go, and providing reasonable steps of how to get there. She has conducted focus groups and other efforts to solicit corporate feedback. Roseann Campagnoli has been a Prior Lake resident for nineteen years. She has been an editor of the Prior Lake American, and worked in the Dakotah Community Relations Department. Her expertise is in Public Relations which is critical in marketing efforts. The diverse business expertise which each of these three representatives will bring to the Economic Development Authority should strengthen that body's ability to accomplish its work objectives. The fourth candidate, Bill Krueger, has considerable financial background and appears to have an interest in Lake Issues. I would like to ask Mr. Krueger whether he would be interested in being considered for interview for the Lake Advisory Committee. I will do so if the Council confirms the appointments as recommended. The Council has the following alternatives: 1. Endorse the Mayor's proposed appointments to the Economic Development Authority. 2. Request additional information regarding the proposed appointments. RECOMMENDATION: Alternate #1. Mter placing a notice in the paper on two different occasions coupled with newspaper articles on the subject, it appears that we received applications from solid business representatives. Once the Council has confirmed the Mayor's appointments an organizational meeting of the newly restructured Economic Development Authority will be arranged. ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second to adopt Resolution 96-XX making certain appointments to the Economic Development Authority. att. EDA122.DOC
