The HRA approved <br />the last amendment on June 05, 2017. <br /> <br />The HRA Attorney reviewed the Bylaws and suggested the following major changes: <br /> <br />Article I <br />Addition of 1.3 – Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners of the Authority shall consist of 5 <br />members. Commissioners shall be appointed in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.003, <br />Subdivision 6, as amended. <br /> <br />Article 2, Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 <br />Deleted a number of the annual and regular meeting agenda items that are not required by the HRA Act <br />(Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.001 through 469.047). <br /> <br />These items were already addressed in other areas of the bylaws such as the dates and times of regular <br />meetings, already in Section 2.5 and the financial condition of the HRA which is already considered along <br />with the annual budget. <br /> <br />Changes to a number of policy decisions currently considered at the annual meeting, such as the status of <br />each project and updates to the bylaws, to instead be evaluated from time to time as needed rather than at <br />specific times set forth in the bylaws to provide the HRA with more flexibility. <br /> <br />Reorganized the suggested order of business at regular meetings to follow the current agenda format. <br /> <br />Article 3 <br />Addition of 3.6 – Election or Appointment; Vacancies. Adding language to clarify Commissioner <br />vacancies, and appointment of successors from membership. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
