EDA Agenda Memo Page 5 September 12, 1994 • 12. Other Business 12.1. Change EDA Meeting Time The Elk River City Council desires that the EDA change its meeting time from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Issues to consider with this change include: • Scheduling of City Council meetings that would presumably begin at a stated time following the EDA meeting. A pitfall here is that the Council schedules a meeting to begin at, say, 7:00 p.m., but the. EDA meeting goes from 6:00 p.m., to, say, 8:00 p.m. If the City Council desires to meet and conduct business on the second Monday of each month, perhaps the EDA is better served rescheduling its monthly meeting to, say, the second Tuesday of each month - thereby giving the City Council exclusive use of every Monday. • Does a 6:00 p.m. starting time serve the residents of • the community, particularly those residents that are likely commuting from Minneapolis-St. Paul? • If the EDA changes its start time to 6:00 p.m., does that mean it does not conduct public hearings until, say, 7:00 p.m. to ensure residents can attend the public hearing? This issue may be further complicated if the City Council desires to meet after an EDA meeting at, say, 7:00 p.m. • Changing the starting time to 6:00 p.m., does not require a by-law change. However, if the EDA desires to have its annual meeting in January begin at 6:00 p.m., a by-law change is necessitated. This process will likely take 60 days. 12.2. Change November Meeting Date Regardless of the above-described request, the writer of this memo respectfully requests that the EDA change its meeting date in November from Monday, November 14, 1994, to Tuesday, November 15, 1994, due to a personal conflict.
