~lk River T~: <br />MEMORANDUM. <br />Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: William Rubin <br />Economic Development Coordinatq~ ~~,. <br />DATE: August 7, 1995 ~ V <br />SUBJECT: Request to Reconsider City Council Action <br />Board and Commission Appreciation Dinner <br />Intryducti©n <br />The writer of this memo respectfully requests that the City Council reconsider its .recent <br />action excluding EDA Commissioners from the above-referenced appreciation dinner. <br />The three. non-elected EDA Commissioners diligently serve on a variety of EDA Task <br />Force groups. These include Comp Plan Steering Committee, Business Park Task Force, <br />Chamber of Commerce CBD Task Force, and the Review and Permitting Task Force, etc. <br />Two of the three non-sleeted Commissioners are also officers of the EDA. Consequently, <br />• the $ i00 per month "salary" merely becomes a stipend when. all of the hours are totaled.. <br />In addition, it may be appropriate to include members of the EDA Business Park Task <br />Force in the dinner. Far two years, this group met diligently (at 7:00 no less) to oversee a <br />significant undertaking for the community. Although this group has not met recently, it is <br />likely that they will be called upon to help the EDA and City Council address policy issues <br />related to the Business Park area. Consequently, this is another appropriate group to <br />include in the appreciation dinner. <br />Action Requested <br />The Elk River City Council is respeetfiilly requested to reconsider its action .regarding its <br />invitation list to the upcomliug appreciation dinner for members of various boards and <br />commissions. <br />• 5:~~~: <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
