7,
City of Shakopee
Memorandum
TO: Shakopee Economic Development Authority
Mark McNeill, EDA Executive Director
FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant to the City Administrator
SUBJECT: EDA Meeting Date
DATE: December 20, 2005
Introduction
The EDA currently holds its regular monthly meeting during the first City Council
meeting of each month. To improve the work flow through the Economic Development
Advisory Commission and on to the EDA for final action, the EDA is asked to consider
moving their regular meeting date to the second Council meeting of each month.
Background
The city's Economic Development Advisory Commission (EDAC) meets on the second
Tuesday of every month to consider economic development related issues and policies
and make recommendations to the city's EDA. Under the current schedule, these
recommendations then sit for at least three weeks until the next EDA meeting comes
around on the first Tuesday of the following month. By moving the regularly scheduled
meeting of the EDA to the second City Council meeting of the month, this lag time
between the EDAC's recommendation and the EDA's action could be reduced to one
week.
Action Requested
If it concurs with change, the EDA should offer a motion to adopt Resolution 2006-01,
AMENDING THE BY-LAWS PROVISION RELATING TO THE MEETING DATE.
