RESTRUCTURE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Mr. Fursman asked the Authority to consider options of changing the
character of the Economic Development Authority. He pointed out the
advantages of increasing the membership and recommended establishing a
seven-member authority made up of only two Councilmembers. He also
~" suggested a consistent regular meeting time be set.
( .
'---- ) The Authority felt it would be a good idea to expand the number of
positions, but they wanted to keep the options open at this point as to
whether there would be five Councilmembers and two members of the
community or fewer Councilmembers and more members with banking, legal,
real estate or general economic development experience from the
community. They asked Mr. Fursman to seek applications for the position
to see what kind of response is received.

further action was taken.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to close the EDA meeting. Motion
carried unanimously.
