Port Authority Residency RequirementsCITY OF ROSEKOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MAY 19 1992 AGENDA ITEM: PORT AUTHORITY RESIDENCY AGENDA SECTION: REQUIREMENT OLD BUSINESS PREPARED BY: STEPHAN JILK, CITY ADMINISTRATOR AGENDjt,TEm ,t ATTACEbMTS : NONE APP VED BY: We bring this item back to you for discussion purposes.- When the City Council was going through the selection process for the Port Authority Board Members, there was discussion regarding whether Board Members appointed should have to be Rosemount city residents. State Law, establishing regulations under which port authorities operate, does not require that members be residents of the city they serve. The City Resolution, which establishes the Rosemount Port Authority does restrict members to residents of the City. Before proceeding with research on this matter I wanted to allow discussion to take place so that we will not be spending a lot of time and effort if you wish to leave the requirements as they are. One of the two motions following would be appropriate for your consideration. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Motion to direct City Administrator to research the pros and cons of appointing non-residents to the Port Authority and report back by September 1, 1992. 2) Motion to affirm residency requirements for Port Authority Members. COUNCIL ACTION:
