Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the City previously had a Housing <br /> Redevelopment Authority, which began as an offshoot of the EDA. He stated that the Board was <br /> never a separate Board but was composed of City Councilmembers. He explained that <br /> ultimately it was determined that there was a duplication of services and things were streamlined <br /> to dissolve that group and instead work through the EDA and City Council. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich asked for additional details about how many members of the Boards <br /> could be non-residents of Ramsey. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill explained that 3/5 of any Board needs to be Ramsey <br /> residents. He used an example of a business owner in Ramsey or a business owner that has <br /> specific knowledge on the topic. He noted that the City does not have to appoint non-residents. <br /> He noted that the discussion will come forward to a future worksession discussion prior to <br /> appointments to Boards and Commissions. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked why the Park and Recreation Commission was not listed. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the case included community <br /> development Boards and Commissions and therefore Park and Recreation Commission was not <br /> included. He noted that the intent was to provide background information for additional cases <br /> before the Council tonight. <br /> 7.03: Adopt Resolution#19-254 Approval of 2020 EDA Work Plan <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation from <br /> the EDA to adopt Resolution#19-254 approving the 2020 EDA work plan as presented. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that the EDA Work Plan pulls almost directly from the City Council <br /> Strategic Plan, focusing on economic development efforts. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked is some of the measures and metrics are able to be found on the <br /> City website. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that the Work Plan could be placed on the <br /> EDA webpage if desired. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the measurable outcome metrics are available online. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill did not believe that those metrics were outlined <br /> specifically. He stated that the Work Plan is completed for the beginning of the year with the <br /> Annual Report provided at the end of the year. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Heinrich, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to Adopt <br /> Resolution#19-254 Approval of the 2020 EDA Work Plan. <br /> City Council/October 22,2019 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
