All resolutions shall be written or transcribed and shall be retained in the journal of the proceedings maintained by the Recording Secretary. Section 5.6. Rules of Procedure.

The manner of voting on all questions coming before the Authority may be by voice vote or roll call. Upon the request of any Commissioner, the yeas and nays on any matter shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting. Section 5.7. Public Process. The JDA shall develop mechanisms for public involvement in any planning or review process. In addition to the requirements of the OML and the MGDPA, the consideration and approval of development agreements and related actions shall be consistent with the applicable hearing and notice requirements for land use and development matters required by Minnesota Statutes §§ 462.357-462.365 and 469.01-469.351, as amended. ARTICLE VI – CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section 6.1. Conflict of Interest. No Commissioner or employee of the Authority shall take any action or make any decision which could substantially affect the Commissioner’s or the employee’s financial interests or those of an organization with which the Commissioner or employee is associated. A Commissioner who has a potential conflict of interest shall not attempt to influence an employee in any manner related to the action or decision in question and shall not take part in the action or decision and shall not be counted toward a quorum during the portion of the meeting in which the action or decision is considered. In the case of an employee who has a potential conflict of interest, the matter shall be assigned to another employee who does not have a conflict of interest. The fact that the appointed elected official members of the Board represent their respective governing bodies on the Board is not deemed to be a conflict of interest merely because of such appointment.
