Council: Economic Development Commission short on members after multiple non-reappointments
Summary
City Manager Andrew Short told the council that recent non-reappointments and a withdrawn outreach response left the five-member Economic Development Commission without enough applicants; council directed staff to continue recruitment.
The council heard that the Economic Development Commission lacks enough members to function after recent departures and applicants who declined to reapply.
Andrew Short said Kelly Costa and another incumbent declined reappointment and a potential applicant did not submit materials, leaving the commission short of members. “At this point, you don't have enough commissioners or applicants to be able to fill this commission,” Short said. Councilmembers discussed outreach options and encouraged staff to recruit potential candidates and clarify residency requirements where relevant.
