City Council Minutes <br /> July 17, 2007 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Sheila Haverkamp from BLADC indicated she was present to discuss <br /> ways in which the City could be more proactive in the economic <br /> development of the City. The Council discussed the benefit of forming an <br /> economic development committee. It was the consensus of the Council <br /> that it was premature for the City to form an EDA but that an economic <br /> development committee would be beneficial at this time. Discussion was <br /> held regarding the roles that PLADO, Business Park Committee and an <br /> Economic Development Committee would play. It was the consensus of <br /> the Council that once formed, the economic development committee <br /> would decide what goals were important for the committee. It was also <br /> decided that this committee would not necessarily negate the need for <br /> PLADO or the Business Park Committee. <br /> MAYOR MALECHA MOVED TO FORM AN ECONOMIC <br /> DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.
