COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Mayor Grant asked if there were any Council or Staff comments. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said JDA Chair Wicklund's term is set to expire at the end of this year. How would Council like to handle the process and timing to appoint a JDA Chair? Mayor Grant said he discussed this with Chair Wicklund. He didn't seem motivated to continue. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said she also talked with him. He wondered if there is Council interest of him staying on as the Chair. She agrees he is undecided. Mayor Grant thinks the question is because he is the Chair and the JDA is turning over at least three seats. Chair Wicklund is wondering if this would be a good time to appoint a different chair. Councilmember Holden pointed out that he missed several meetings this year. She doesn't want to offer him the job if Council turns over on January 1't. Would we put him on and then throw him off if something changes? She thinks that's tacky. She wondered if it could wait until January I rt. Mayor Grant said it could wait until January. There is not set date where it needs to be done. He recalled one year when Council switched over its committees in February. Councilmember Rousseau said we could do an interview on January 3'd . Mayor Grant said we haven't decided we aren't having him back. Councilmember Rousseau understands. The first council meeting is on the 13ft so there would be the entire week of the 6th through the 1Oft for interviews, if we go that route. Interim City Administrator Jagoe said if Council wanted to table this discussion until after the l't of the year. Then Council could meet on the 13ft and make the decision to either reappoint or make a motion to extend him for another month. The County will appoint a vice chair so that person could fill in if there is no chair. The JDA meetings could still function with the vice chair
