RE: Economic Development Authority Resignation
Background
On March 10, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) received a resignation from
EDA Member Jeff Carter. Mr. Carter stated that his employer, Merchants Bank, has
focused his responsibilities to Hastings, and he will no longer be working out of the
Cottage Grove Merchants Bank location. The EDA requires that a member be a resident
of the City or own, operate, or be employed by a business in the City.
Recommendation
Accept the resignation of Jeff Carter from the Economic Development Authority.

RE: Resignafiion from the EDA
Dear Christine,
I have recently accepted additional responsibilities within Merchants Bank which wili effectively
move my office location to Hastings. I will continue to serve the Cottage Grove market through
the Cottage Grove branch but more on a part-time basis.
Given this change and the fact that i do not live in Cottage Grove, i do not feel I fully meet the
requirements to serve on the EDA anymore. I visited with Mayor Bailey on this topic as weli and
he agreed that fio avoid any complications, I should resign from the EDA.
I am grateful for opportunity to serve the communi#y of Cottage Grove through my role with the
EDA. I and others at Merchants Banl<will continue to be involved in the Chamber of Commerce
and other organizations, serving the community in Cottage Grove and I'm sure our paths will
cross again in the future.
Regards,
