Memo
To: Economic Development Authority Members
From: Kirstin Barsness, Economic Development Director
Date: 08/19/98
Re: Resignation of Bill Buth
The hardest part of staffing the EDA is receiving and accepting resignations from the
Authority, especially when the resignation comes from an individual who has
committed valuable time and energy to advancing the City's economic development
program. Bill Buth's contributions to the EDA have definitely impacted Cottage Grove
• in a positive way and his personal support of city staff is very much appreciated.
Regretfully, the EDA must accept Mr. Buth's resignation and forward his letter to the
City Council.

Dear Kirstin:
Due to personal circumstances and with a variety of mixed emotions I hereby submit my -
resignation as a member of the Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority. My
resignation will be effective Monday, August 31, 1998.
• As I was preparing to write this letter I went back a number ofg ears ago duringwhich
Y
time the City of Cottage Grove was interviewing for the position of Economic
Development Director. I remember those interviews as if they took place yesterday.
Without a doubt the city made the right decision in selecting you as the EDA Director.
Your track record speaks for itself and the fruits of the many months and years of hard
work paid big dividends as the city landed Anderson Renewal.
I will truly miss the interaction with you, city staff, as well as the members of the
Economic Development Authority. I am sure that in the months and years ahead Cottage
Grove will lead the way in economic development and as I stated months ago the
availability of space in Cottage Grove will no longer exist.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity of being of service and even though I will no
longer be a member of the EDA I look forward to continuing the friendships that are most
important to me.
Sincerely,
/9-
Bill Buth
