VANDERHEYDEN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: JANUARY 10, 1992 ITEM: NON-RESIDENT POSITIONS ON PORT AUTHORITY It has come to my attention through discussions with Joel Jamnik of the League of Minnesota Cities, that State Statute 469.003, Subdivision 5 concerning Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, specifically states that its members must be residents of the area of operation. The special legislation granting Rosemount- the authority to establish a port authority includes a provision outlining that the Port Authority would encompass the Economic Development Authority and Housing and Redevelopment Authority, therefore, Port Authority members would have to be residents of the City of Rosemount. Staff is contacting City Attorney, Mike Miles, to pursue this matter as well as doing other research. A definitive answer on this issue will be provided to City Council at the Tuesday evening special meeting. 6verylhings Coming (U� Rosemounill JANUARY 14, 1992 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMMISSION/COMMITTEE APPLICANT INTERVIEW SCHEDULE TIME NAME COMMISSION/COMMITTEE 6:30 Joan Anderson Port Authority 6:45 Linda Ladzun Port Authority Park & Recreation Committee Planning Commission 7:00 Cathy Busho Port Authority 7:15 Ena Cisewski Port.
