ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
SPECIAL
AUGUST 31, 1988
1. Chairperson Riste called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.
Members Present: Mayer, Meyer, Riste, Sprute.
Members Absent: None.
Also Present: Robert Williamson, Director and Larry Thompson, City Administrator.
2. The special meeting was called to discuss the process and procedures necessary
to replace the resigning EDC Director. Issues raised were:
A. The desirability of altering the Director's job description. The
consensus was that aside from deleting "to interested developers"
from #5 under "Responsibilities" the job description should remain
the same.
B. The establishment of a framework for recruitment and evaluation. The
consensus was that a screening subcommittee comprised of Larry Thompson,
Ken Meyer and Carol Sprute should be formed. An advertisement, lasting
two weeks, should be placed in prominent newspapers. Also, ads should
be placed through the League of Minnesota Cities and the ICMA. This
should be done immediately.
C. Applicant testing should be considered, perhaps necessitating the
retention of a consultant to aid in the process.
3. MOTION by Sprute, second by Mayer to accept the resignation of EDC Director
Robert Williamson and to appoint Larry Thompson as interim Director. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
4. MOTION by Meyer, second by Sprute to adjourn the meeting. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
Meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
