I ~~( ( )! IIi( River ITEM 5.2. MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROM: WILLIAM RUBIN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINAT~V1- OCTOBER 17, 1994 DATE: SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO EDA ENABLING RESOLUTION INTRODUCTION . On Monday, October 17, 1994, the Elk River City Council will be asked to schedule a public hearing to consider a modification to the Resolution which created the Economic Development Authority for the City of Elk River. The proposed modification relates to the initiative of adding at least one more at- large Commissioner at the expense of reducing the number of City Council members on the EDA. BACKGROUND The current composition of the Elk River EDA is that of a seven member Board of Commissioners; five of which are City Council members and two of which are non-elected residents who serve in an at-large capacity. A seven member EDA is the statutory maximum. Further, State Law provides that at least two of the seven Commissioners must be members of the City Council. This requirement helps ensure a checks-and-balance system. ~ Minnesota Statutes addresses how an Enabling Resolution can be modified. It requires that a City Council conduct a public hearing on the proposed modification, after the notice of the public hearing is published once a week for two consecutive weeks. The first publication must appear not more than thirty days from the date ofthe public hearing. With that background, the following timetable is offered: October 17. 1994 - City Council meeting - City Council sets public hearing date on proposed modification to the Enabling Resolution . P.O.
