Porter County RDC elects officers and approves legal and financial contracts
Summary
At its meeting the Porter County Redevelopment Commission elected officers, appointed a director, assistant director and attorney, and approved professional services agreements for legal counsel and a financial consultant.
The Porter County Redevelopment Commission completed its organizational business and approved several professional service agreements at the meeting.
Members were sworn in and the commission elected its officers by voice vote after nominations. The commission then approved appointments for director (named in the meeting), assistant director and legal counsel; a motion to appoint Mike Jel as director, Kirk Canson as assistant director and Scott McCcl (attorney) carried by voice vote.
The commission approved a professional services agreement for legal counsel at a rate noted in the meeting (transcript references approximately $195) for calendar year 2026. Commissioners also approved a contract with Development Economic Finance Consulting LLC to provide financial services on an as‑needed basis to assist with state reporting and financial work tied to future projects.
These actions were taken by motion and voice vote as part of the meeting’s consent and new business items. Staff noted the professional agreements will require signatures and standard contract processing; commissioners did not request changes to the terms discussed during the meeting.
The meeting also included routine approval of the consent agenda and claims (including payments to MKSA for comprehensive plan work).
