EDA Agenda Memo Page 2 September 12, 1994 voted unanimously to the City Council that it approve the B-P • rezoning. A second recommendation from the Planning Commission was that of adjusting the PUD/B-P line west of the Government Center so as to run parallel with US Highway 10 and County Road 30. It is also appropriate for the Elk River EDA to forward its recommendation to the City Council when it conducts its public hearing on September 19. ACTION REQUESTED The Elk River EDA is asked to recommend to the City Council that it approve the B-P, Business Park zoning designation to certain properties located along the western area of the community. 7. Conflict of Interest Ordinance EDA Commissioners will recall that an inquiry was made to the City Attorney relating to the impact of President Gongoll's employment at Riverside Development on the City's Conflict of Interest ordinance. Subject to changes in the distribution of the Prospect Status Report, the City Attorney concluded that President Gongoll was not in • violation of the ordinance relating to a "ownership interest" and his dealings with the City. However, a section in the ordinance precluded City officials from acting as an agent or representative for another in any matter pending for the City or Council: This section of the ordinance was subsequently deleted by Council action on June 20, 1994. This action enabled President Gongoll to make presentations to the Planning Commission, City Council, etc., on behalf of Riverside Development. No other action was taken on the section in the ordinance which prohibits City officials from having an interest in any business which has contacts or other direct dealings with the City. At a future City Council meeting, this section of the ordinance, along with other related elements, are expected to be discussed. Since the Conflict of Interest ordinance affects the EDA, HRA, and Planning Commission, etc., these agencies will have an opportunity to review the proposed revisions subject to Council action. ACTION REQUESTED The Elk River EDA is asked to review the proposed changes to the Conflict of Interest ordinance and recommend these changes to the • City Council.
