The Coldwater Brownfield Redevelopment Authority approved organizational items and appointments at its June 30 meeting, including updated bylaws, the appointment of a vice chair, a recording secretary, the authority director and a treasurer.

The authority approved the March 13, 2025 meeting minutes and voted to adopt updated bylaws presented by staff. The board then appointed Shawna Chavez, the city clerk, as recording secretary to keep official minutes and records.

Board members nominated and confirmed Eric Beckhusen as vice chair after a motion and second on the floor; the presiding officer announced the vote and declared the nomination ordered. The board also approved Resolution 2504 to appoint Keith Baker, the Coldwater city manager, as director/liaison to the authority; the director role was described as supporting developers, reviewing work plans and coordinating tax‑capture implications with other taxing jurisdictions.

Resolution 2505 appointed the city finance director as treasurer for the authority; staff explained the treasurer’s responsibilities would include maintaining financial records and, should a revolving fund be created in the future, managing those assets. Staff noted that at present the authority has no revolving fund but that the positions and bylaws were being set to allow future options.

All housekeeping motions on the agenda passed by voice vote.
