Further discussion: Councilmember Tossey stated his intent to oppose the motion as he does not think the Council had correctly followed State Statute guidelines when making appointments, noting the Mayor has executive authority to make appointment to the EDA. He supported preserving this one executive decision of the Mayor, thinking the outcome may have been different based on discussion during the Work Session. Mayor Strommen emphasized that the resolution correctly reflects her appointments to the EDA, noting the State Statute does not prohibit the Mayor from taking advice from the City Council for this appointment, which she would support as the City Council approves the appointments.
