spoke of the need to make a commitment to the Commission to attend the monthly meetings and be <br />involved in the annual events of the Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Rohrer asked about the apparent attendance problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner explained that many of those interested have found that their jobs or lives have changed <br />resulting in the inability to attend the meetings, but the EDC is attempting to replace those members but <br />do encourage them to stay involved with the EDC as ex-officio members. Mr. Wagner inquired as to the <br />reason for Mr. Rohrer's application to the Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Rohrer responded that he was involved in the City of Prior Lake before moving to Ramsey in <br />October 1995 and that the time commitment should not pose a problem a this time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson inquired as to why they had chosen to relocate to the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Rohrer stated that his wife was a pastor at the Central Lutheran Church in Elk River. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson then inquired as to Mr. Rohrer's occupation and place of employment. <br /> <br />Mr. Rohrer said that he worked at a collision center in Richfield. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commission to consider the qualifications of each applicant and delay any <br />immediate decision. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Reappointment of Commissioners McGhee and Kent to the Economic Development <br />Commission and to Elect a Chair and Vice-chair for 1996. <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner reviewed the attendance records of the two commission members seeking <br />reappointment. Chairperson Wagner noted that Commissioner McGhee has attended only 30% of the <br />meetings since his appointment. Based upon this finding, it would be his suggestion to not reappoint <br />Commissioner McGhee. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Kent and seconded by Commissioner Stafki not to reappoint Commissioner <br />McGhee to the Economic Development Commission but to encourage his continued participation as an <br />ex-officio member. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Stafki, Kent, and Nelson. Voting <br />No: None. Absent: Commissioners McGhee and Ullen. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to reappoint Commissioner Kent <br />to the Economic Development Commission. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Stafki, and Nelson. Voting No: <br />None. Abstaining: Commissioner Kent. Absent: Commissioners McGhee and Ullen. <br /> <br />The EDC discussed the positions of Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson. The current appointment of <br />Commissioner Wagner as Chairperson and Commissioner Kent as Vice-Chairperson expire at the end of <br />January 1996. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Stafki and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to appoint Mr. Wagner as <br />Chairperson for a term set to expire January 1997. <br /> Economic Development Commission/January 4, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
