Length of terms modification for appointees to the Red Wing Port Authority

This bill would change the term length for appointed members of the Red Wing Port Authority from three years to six years for positions starting on or after January 1, 2011. The change applies specifically to appointees of this local government body and requires the city of Red Wing and its chief clerical officer to comply with certain state statutes before the new term lengths take effect. By amending Minnesota Statutes section 469.081, subdivision 3a, the legislation modifies the existing rules governing how long these appointed officials serve on the authority.
