MEMORANDUM August 13, 1957
TO : The Mayor
FROM : Marshall F. Hurley
IN RE: Port Authority - Laws of Minnesota 1957, Chapter 812
To transfer the powers of the present Port Authority
over to a new Port Authority authorized by the above law, which
Port Authority shall have the extended jurisdiction as granted
under Chapter 812, the following steps are necessary under the
provisions of the law and should be taken in this order :
1. The passage of a formal resolution by the Council
authorizing the Port Authority of the City to be
increased to seven members and to operate under
Chapter 812. This step has already been taken
by Council Resolution No. 183844, approved the
23rd day of July, 1957, a copy of which is hereto
attached.
2. Under the law, the Mayor, with the approval of the
Council, shall appoint the four new members to the
new Port Authority. Two of these must be council-
men, two of these must be lay persons. The term
for each of these four new members is six years,
provided, insofar as the Council appointees are
concerned, that they retain their membership on
the governing body of the City.
3. The Mayor also, under the law, appoints the other
three members of the seven-man Port Authority,
who shall be the present Port Authority Commissioners,
and they shall be appointed for the remainder of their
unexpired terms to such Port Authority.
4. When these steps have been taken, I suggest, although
the law does not specifically set out the procedure,
that a resolution of the Council be passed authoriz-
ing the Mayor to call a first meeting of the newly
MEMORANDUM
To the Mayor . 2. August 13, 1957
constituted port authority under Chapter 812
to act only as pro tem chairman of the first
meeting, which shall be an organization meeting
for such Authority.
