7. Consideration of Appointing Ryan Schmitz as a Member of the IEDC (JT)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
An application for membership on the IEDC was recently received from Ryan Schmitz.

membership spot formerly held by Don Roberts, a long-time Cargill Protein Monticello

meritorious and significant as Cargill employs 425 to 430 staff in its downtown
production plant and affiliated offices.

forwarded to the City Council for final consideration at the January 9, 2023 meeting.
The IEDC currently has 15 members with one of those being a City Council
representative.
A total of 18 members are authorized in the IEDC Organizational documents with two of
those spots reserved for High School students. The School Principal is responsible to
propose the student members with ratification by the City Council.
