She suggested this be an alternate position. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a motion <br />to appoint Councilmember Brenda Holden as the EDC Alternate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson questioned if the EDC appointment should be held off until the EDC <br />begins to meet again. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated this appointment could be skipped at this time because the EDC was not <br />currently meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Monson indicated she would like to restate her motion. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to <br />appoint Mayor David Grant to the Twin Cities Gateway.
