Antonen, City Manager FROM: Chuck Ahl, Assistant City Manager Sarah Burlingame, Senior Administrative Assistant DATE: January 8, 2014 RE: Business & Economic Development Commission Interviews INTRODUCTION /BACKGROUND On July 27 2009 the City Council passed an ordinance establishing the Maplewood Business and Economic Development Commission (BEDC). The purpose of the BEDC is to be an advisory commission to the Economic Development Authority (EDA), which the City Council also established on the same date as the BEDC. The BEDC will be a seven member commission, three of which must be small business owners. The BEDC will advise the EDA and make recommendations on economic development and redevelopment projects and related issues. Staff has received 15 applications from interested citizens and business owners, which are attached to this report. Since this is a new commission, the council will be appointing all seven members after interviews have been completed. Those initially appointed shall be appointed for staggered terms consisting of two members appointed to one (1) year terms; two members appointed to two (2) year terms; and three members appointed to three (3) year terms, respectively, with a "small business" representative appointed in each of the initial term timeframes. Thereafter, Members are appointed to three (3) -year terms. SUMMARY The council will continue interviews on January 14 2009, during a special Council- Manager Workshop, scheduled to begin at 5pm. One candidate, Marvin Koppen, was unable to be present on January 14 therefore he was interviewed at the January 11 Council- Manager Workshop. The council will conduct interviews with remaining candidates, listed below at their scheduled interview times. Since the council has already started the interview process, the questions used during the interviews with the remaining candidates should be the same questions used during Mr. Koppen's interview on January 11 These questions have been provided to the council under separate cover. Packet Page Number 3 of 26 Workshop Agenda Item E1 Staff has also allowed time for discussion of the voting process. Council has not, at this time, taken any formal action to adopt a specific voting method. Staff has allowed for the first fifteen (15) minutes of the meeting to be for discussion of the report and the voting method. The schedule is as follows: TIME: APPLICANT: 5:00pm Council Discussion of Voting Process 5:15 Mark Jenkins 5:30 Jeff Seltun 5:45 Laurie Van Dalen 6:00 Richard Bennett 6:15 Beth Ulrich 6:30 Barbara Sheldon 6:45 15 MINUTE RECESS 7:00 David Sherrill 7:15 Paul Arbuckle 7:30 Mark Bradley 7:45 Debra Pedro 8:00 Shelly Strauss 8:15 John Wykoff 8:30 Diana Longrie 8:45 David Hesley RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the City Council discuss the voting method to ensure that it is clear to the council which method they prefer to utilize and how it will be implemented. The council should also decide on a method of assigning the term expiration dates to the appointed members. Staff also recommends that the council continue the interviews with the remaining candidates listed in the schedule above, utilizing the same questions used on January 11 to interview Mr. Once the interviews have concluded, the council should turn in their voting ballots to staff and the votes will be tallied. Staff will then bring the results to the council on the January 25 2009 regular meeting for the selected candidates to be formally appointed. Attachments: 1.
