Table Topic — Mississippi River Crossine PEL Studv Update -Comments — Darek Vetsch Wright County Commissioner Prepared by: Meeting Date: ® Regular Agenda Item Economic Development Manager 11/6/2024 Reviewed by: Approved by: Community Economic Development Community Development Director Coordinator REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Darek Vetsch, Wright County Commissioner, will provide an update of the PEL (Planning and Environmental Linkage) Study related to the proposed future Mississippi River Crossing. As you may be aware, the current Mississippi River crossing (MN TH #25 route through downtown Monticello and Bridge connecting Sherburne and Wright Counties) carries approximately 39,000 +/- vehicles per day and is expected to see increases in future years. The multi - jurisdictional CMARRP effort has moved from the initial planning and study effort to the formal PEL stage (a federal highway improvement and infrastructure investment step). The PEL Study, found in the link below, is now at the state of soliciting public comment (online) as part of the remaining steps to finalize the PEL study. The online document can be found here. Highway 25 Area PEL Study Per Sarah Swedburg, Planner II, Bolton & Menk, Inc., the firm completing the PEL Study, the information about alternatives and "the survey to provide feedback on those alternatives can be found at the bottom of the website or by clicking on the "Interactive Alternatives Tour" tab. Industrial Economic Development Agenda: 11/06/2024 2C. Consideration of Process of ADoointine New Members to the IEDC Prepared by: Meeting Date: ® Regular Agenda Item Economic Development Manager 11/6/2024 Reviewed by: Approved by: Community Economic Development Community Development Director Coordinator REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Three recently received applications for two available seats on the IEDC are being presented for general review and discussion. The three applications are attached. Staff would like to discuss and solicit IEDC feedback regarding the organizational membership structure and process for reviewing and approving these three applicants. Currently, a total of 18 members are authorized in the IEDC Organizational documents with 2 of those spots reserved for Monticello High School students. For a variety of reasons, student involvement in the IEDC has been very low since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. Applications were received from the following individuals: Aaron Holthaus, Sonja McElroy, and Mike Huey. A summary of each applicant follows. Aarron Holthaus - worked on commercial and residential development for 40+ years. He has an economics degree from the University of Minnesota. He does not have any prior experience prior experience on city boards or commissions, yet has been the chairman of the restaurant brands national association and advertising committee. Sonja McElroy - has worked in IT operations, with a certification for technical training. She lists no experience on city boards or commissions. Mike Huey - has a bachelor's degree from North Central University, and is the owner of Scalable Sales Solutions, a Monticello -based management consulting firm. He lists no experience on city boards or commissions. City staff are seeking direction form the IEDC regarding how to proceed with two potential options. Option A would be to retain the two student spots on the IEDC and in 2025 work in tandem with the High School to recommend appointing two students. This would mean that only two of the three applicants would be able to be appointed to the IEDC at this time. Option B is to adjust (amend) the guidelines to claw back the student seats and allow for up to Industrial Economic Development Agenda: 11/06/2024 four new appointments of business professionals to the IEDC. The IEDC currently has 14 voting members with one of those being a City Council representative. Al. Staff Impact: None A2. Budget Impact: None; IEDC Members do not receive a stipend currently. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to recommend interviewing the three applicants to fill the two spots on the IEDC, and to retain the student spots on the board 2. Motion to recommend removing the two student seats on the Committee and appointing the three applicants with one vacant seat remaining until a new qualified candidate can be recommended to the IEDC board. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff defers to the IEDC in this matter. Staff can share observations and insights as a helpful guide to the IEDC in the discussions. It should be noted that if the IEDC desires to amend the ordinance allowing the appointment of four business professionals, it will require a formal approval by the IEDC at a regular meeting as well as ratification by the City Council.
