CC Work Session 2. 2. <br />Meeting Date: 01/28/2014 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Appointment to NCDA Joint Powers Board <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Purpose of Case: Appoint a Councilmember to NCDA Joint Powers Board. <br />Background: This case is a follow up to the January 7 Council Worksession case relating to the appointment of <br />Councilmembers to various boards and committees. <br />At the January 7 meeting, a Staff member (Patrick Brama) was appointed to represent Ramsey on Northstar <br />Corridor Development Authority (NCDA) joint powers board. Unfortunately, it is not possible, due to NCDA <br />regulations, for a staff member to be appointed to the NCDA joint powers board. <br />Clarification: <br />There are two NCDA boards: (1) joint powers board (2) marketing board. <br />(1) The NCDA joint powers board requires representation by a City Councilmember. Meetings take place two times <br />per year at the Sherburne County government center. The purpose of the NCDA joint powers board is to analyze <br />transportation needs of the Northstar Corridor from Minneapolis to St. Cloud. The NCDA works together to meet <br />future needs of the Northstar corridor with 4 goals: (A) improve mobility and safety, (B) minimize adverse <br />environmental impacts, (C) encourage transit supportive land use and development patterns, and (D) provide <br />cost-effective and efficient transportation system. <br />(2) The NCDA marketing board does not require representation by a City Councilmember. This board meets <br />quarterly at the Sherburne County Government Center. Mr. Brama does represent the City of Ramsey on the NCDA <br />marketing board; and will moving forward. <br />Requested Action <br />Appointment of Mr. Brama to the NCDA joint powers board was made as a result of a misunderstanding. <br />Therefore, Staff is requesting the City Council make an new appointment to the NCDA joint powers board. <br />Next NCDA Meeting <br />Wednesday, February 19, 4:30 p.m (6:00 p.m. end)., Sherburne County Government Center. <br />Timeframe: <br />5 Minutes or Less for discussion.
