o Mayor Acri made a motion for Alderman Mike Wendt to fill the vacant position on the

PMT. Motion was seconded by David Parker. Motion carried.

o Mayor Acri asked if the members of the PMT were subject to term limits and Jerry Butts

stated that at this time there are no term limits. Ray stated that the PMT is governed by

a city resolution and is tied to TIF-1. Dan stated that perhaps there could be an

amendment to the resolution that limits the terms of those who serve on the PMT.

o Kevin Schoonmaker made a motion for City Staff to review the options of term limits for

members of the PMT. The motion was seconded by Jerry Butts. Motion carried.

o Mayor Acri asked if there was a legal quorum for the PMT. Dan and Ray stated that

they would look into this, and get a better definition of the quorum for the PMT.

o David Parker asked if there was anything specific about an attendance requirement for

PMT members. Ray stated that currently there isn’t anything, especially since the PMT

isn’t governed by any bylaws, and perhaps that is something we can consider doing.

Ray stated that he would email the PMT members the initial resolution that created the

PMT, and the subsequent amendments.

o Mayor Acri stated that it would be a good idea to get other members involved in the

DBMT process. Could the City appoint another alderman to a DBMT who isn’t on the

legal review, to add another alderman and another private member, to all DBMTs. The

motion was seconded by Steve Nelson. Motion carried.
