Approval of Minutes <br /> Minutes of the December 20, 1995 regular meeting of the EDC were approved. <br /> 5. Monthly Report <br /> The Staff briefed the committee on its activities over the past month. Discussion took <br /> place on the progress of locating Unisource in the Gateway Business District. The Staff <br /> informed the EDC that Unisource had met with the City Council on Tuesday, January 16, <br /> 1996 and appeared from that meeting that both parties were interested in pursuing the <br /> options of locating Unisource in the GBD. The EDC was also made aware that a second <br /> company had a purchase agreement on the Pentair site and this may complicate the <br /> Unisource proposal, since it included the Pentair site in its initial site plans. <br /> 6. 1996 Goals <br /> The Committee discussed the EDC's 1996 goals. Those goals are: <br /> 1. Increase Committee Membership <br /> 2. Enhance Business Contacts <br /> a. Produce a marketing brochure; <br /> b. Discuss the economic development budget; <br /> C.
