EDC BUSINESS <br /> A. Review Proposed Revisions to the Economic Development Specialist Position <br /> Description <br /> City Administrator Ericson reviewed proposed revisions to the economic development <br /> specialist position description. He highlighted how the position's emphasis has evolved and <br /> should better reflect the City's business, communications and marketing needs. He <br /> reported that the City Council will be discussing the position at its work session in June. <br /> Commissioner Freichels agreed that the changes made sense, reporting that it's easier to <br /> keep the existing businesses in the community versus recruiting new ones. A business <br /> liaison would be appreciated. <br /> Commissioner Larson asked about the part time status of the position. Administrator <br /> Ericson confirmed that the position is budgeted for half-time but that could be increased, and <br /> the next year's budget will be revised to accommodate the desired schedule. <br />
