Todd Gerhardt: One item that missed on this and Chairman we talked about this is to elect a

packet went out so for housekeeping, if you could select a Chairman and a Vice-Chairman for
the EDA, and then we can go onto the next item.

All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to O.
Mayor Furlong: Now we're organized? I think one thing I mentioned with Mr. Gerhardt, I think
what I'd like to do when we start in our January meeting, when we do our organization at City
Council and adopt the newspaper and such, at the end of that meeting we'll convene immediately
for the EDA, if for no other reason than just to organize as well so that we do that. That being
said, there are two items on our agenda this evening for the EDA. Are there any proposed
changes or amendments or additions to the agenda? Without objection we'll proceed as
published or with that I'll go to staff report for item number 1.
RELEASE FROM CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT AND
ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT. CHANHASSEN COUNTRY INN & SUITES.
