Memorandum
To: Economic Development Commission
From: David L. Olson, Community & Economic Development Director
Copy: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Date: April 26, 2022
Subject: Election of Officers
The City Council has appointed new commission members to serve on the Economic
Development Commission starting on April 1, 2022, and the annual election of EDC officers will
take place at this month’s meeting.
EDC members elected in April 2021 were Don Seiler as Chair, Lowell Collman as Vice Chair, and
Jessica Christiansen as Secretary.
For the election of officers:
• The existing chair (or vice-chair if chair is no longer on the board) should ask for
nominations from the board members. If no officers from the previous board are present,
the most tenured member of the board will handle the nomination process. Nominations
can be taken individually by position (chair, vice-chair, etc.) or as a slate of officers. This
call for nominations should occur three times (are there any nominations; are there any
more nominations, are there any more nominations). The presiding officer shall
announce that self-nominations are allowed.
• Once three calls for nominations are completed, the chair shall state that nominations are
closed.
• A vote on the positions, either individually or as a slate, shall occur. The person with the
most votes is elected.
• The newly elected chair takes over presiding duties.
Action Requested: Commissioners are asked to elect officers to serve the 2022 year.
