FROM: SUSAN L. 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.
