The Committee members being recommended were as <br /> <br /> Owner of Village Bank <br /> Planning Commission Member <br /> Resident and Local Realtor <br /> Resident <br /> Resident and land owner with a significant amount of history <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that he has heard the Committee as being a subcommittee of <br />the EDA and a committee reporting to the City Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Elvig replied that he would prefer it be a committee that reports to the City Council. <br /> <br />Counci hnember Hendriksen agreed. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan stated that Mr. Elvig had made the statement to him that the people <br />chosen for the Committee would represent business and landowners in the City and if someone <br />"got out of line" they would be kicked out. <br /> <br />Mr. Elvig stated that he would like to present a mission statement as well as a series of rules that <br />would leave the political opinions "at the door", because it is supposed to be a fact finding group. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan stated that if it is a Committee sanctioned by the City Council, did <br />they advertise to see if others would be interested. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that there was a precedent for this, being that they appointed <br />an ad-hoc committee during the Comprehensive Plan process. He did not believe that committee <br />was a result of advertising. He also noted that not all agendas are political, sometimes there are <br />differences in opinions. <br /> <br />City Council/March 12, 2002 <br /> Page 16 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
