CALL TO ORDER: <br /> <br /> Chairperson Torri Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:40 a.m. <br /> <br />2. ROLL CALL: <br /> <br /> Members Present: Greg Belting, Jackie Entsminger, Tom Field, Jerry Jaker, Torri Johnson <br />Members Absent: Jason Helgemoe, Stan McDonald <br /> <br />Staff Present: Economic Development Coordinator Aaron Backman <br />Others Present: None <br /> <br />3. APPROVAL OF EDC MINUTES: <br /> <br />Motion/Second: No Commission action was taken. Field asked if the City could have someone <br />besides Backman take the minutes for the EDC, as that would be a better use of Backman’s time <br />and lead to more timely minutes. Backman appreciated the suggestion. He noted that Park & <br />Recreation Commission had asked for the same thing, however, had been turned down by the City <br />Council. Currently only the City Council and the EDA have separate minute takers. <br /> <br />4. SPECIAL BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. None. <br /> <br />5. EDC BUSINESS <br /> <br /> A. Discussion of Joint Meeting with City Council on March 20, 2006 and Special City Council <br />Meeting regarding TIF Policy on March 29, 2006 (See Jim Ericson’s Report). Backman <br />described two upcoming meetings pertaining to the EDC. First, on March 20th the City Council <br />will be meeting with various commissions as an opportunity for them to ask questions. Second, <br />on March 29th there will be a one-on-one meeting between the City Council and the EDC to <br />discuss economic development policy, etc. Commissioners are encouraged to attend both. <br />Belting asked if the second meeting was a follow-up to the meetings held last fall. Backman <br />replied affirmatively and that it is intended to clarify policy and goals. For the following EDC <br />meeting Backman will send members the Commission’s funding priorities that were prioritized <br />last fall. Johnson indicated that she thinks it’s a good idea that the joint meeting is being held. <br /> <br />6. REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS, STAFF AND EDA LIAISON <br /> <br />A.
