<br /> <br />City Council Minutes <br />May 5, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />advertise it for bid. Motion Carried 5-0. <br /> <br /> 8.2 Ordinance 25-07: Multipurpose Facility Advisory Commission Membership <br /> The staff report was presented. <br /> <br />The Council discussed how many non-resident members should be on the commission. <br /> <br />Mayor Dietz stated that he does not necessarily agree with more than one non-resident, but does not <br />want to kick any one off the commission who is currently a member; therefore suggested the current <br />members could be grandfathered in until the non-resident member leaves, then follow the updated <br />ordinance for no more than one non-resident. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner suggested having up to two non-resident members, with one of the two <br />having to either own a business or work in Elk River. <br /> <br />Councilmember Calva suggested following the plan that is written, but put a time limit on it for <br />adopting the new ordinance, for example, as of January 1 or the end of their term expiration. Then <br />there would possibly be a natural elimination of the non-resident members as to whether they would <br />like to continue on the commission or not. <br /> <br />The Council discussed the possible end-of-term expiration of adopting the ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner expressed that it has been difficult to find at-large members for the <br />commission, and that is why she suggested having up to two non-residents, with one of them either <br />owning a business or working within the city. <br /> <br />It was decided that the Community Event Center Commission would be comprised of five voting <br />members, one of whom is a sitting City Council representative, one Senior Center Elk River resident, <br />the other three representatives up to two representatives do not need to be residents of the City of <br />Elk River, but at least one of them must own a business or work within the city limits. <br /> <br />Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Calva to adopt <br />Ordinance 25-07 as amended by the Council, regarding membership and duties of the <br />Community Event Center Commission. Motion Carried 4-1. Councilmember Beyer <br />opposed. <br /> <br /> 8.3 Discuss Work Session Items <br /> Mayor Dietz suggested revisiting the fire station funding after the legislative session is over. <br /> <br />9.
