Amendment to the Enabling Resolution for the EDA
SUBJ:
DATE:
February 18, 2009
PROPOSED MOTION
The City Council adopts the Resolution amending the Resolution Enabling the Creation
of an Economic Development Authority in the City of Chanhassen.
BACKGROUND
The Economic Development Authority was created in 1997. The EDA assumed the
duties and responsibilities of the HRA. At that time, the EDA was created as a seven-
member board that included the Mayor & Council as well as two members-at-Iarge who
had been active with the HRA.
The proposed resolution modifies the enabling resolution by defining the EDA as a five
member board, with the Mayor and Council serving terms concurrent to their elected
term. This change reflects current practice.
Additionally, the EDA will meet to adopt amended bylaws to reflect the membership
changes.
State law requires a Public Hearing to be held whenever changes are made to the
Enabling Resolution. Notice of the Public Hearing, attached, was published in the
Chanhassen Villager on February 5 & 12, 2009.
RECCOMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution amending the resolution enabling the
creation of an Economic Development Authority in the City of Chanhassen. A majority
vote of the City Council is required.
