ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
Tuesday May 16, 1989
MEMBERS PRESENT: Joy Crouch, Bill Monahan, Brian Moore, Amo DeBernardis
OTHERS PRESENT: John Acker
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 a.m. and the minutes of the April
meeting were approved without modification.
John gave a brief explanation of the periodic review process. It was noted
that the Goal 9 (economy) portion of the comprehensive plan would be
extensively improved and updated. The EDC will have ample opportunity to
provide input and feedback throughout this process.
Bill stated that he will be unable to attend the Board and Committee
chairpersons meeting and asked for volunteers to go in his stead. Brian Moore
said he would check his schedule.
Bill started a discussion of the Trammel Crow proposal to create an urban
renewal district in the area near Lincoln Center and around Metzger School by
describing the proposal as much as is known. Committee members thought that
development of this general area might be desirable in the long run, but
expressed concern for the current residents. The question was raised about what
was said and what assurances were given to these people when the area was
annexed in 1986. The committee agreed to send a letter to the City Council
outlining EDC concerns, Bill will send.
The committee talked about ways for ambassadors to reach the community with the
message that help is available. The idea of seeking speaking engagements at
such organizations as I-5 Corridor, TVEDC, Rotary, etc., was seen as a good way
to reach the target audience.
Joy Crouch announced that she was leaving soon for Europe and would not be at
the EDC meetings until she returned in September. Joy will be spending her
summer in Austria and Yugoslavia.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00.
