EDC Minutes <br /> February 6, 2013 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> Chair von Holtum suggested that each EDC member bring two names of potential EDC <br /> members to each meeting. EDC Commissioners will decide how best to recruit potential <br /> members. <br /> It was the consensus of the Commission to bring names of potential new members to the next <br /> EDC meeting. <br /> B. Newsletters <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher noted that the 2013 EDC Work Plan includes <br /> two items related to newsletters: 1) Use the City newsletter to highlight local businesses, and 2) <br /> Explore publishing an economic development newsletter. Hutmacher added that a Business <br /> News page had been added to the City website. <br /> Chair von Holtum suggested that the City newsletter articles be used to emphasize positive <br /> news on economic development. The TCAAP project is an example of a positive economic <br /> development story that is of interest to the community. <br /> Councilmember Werner offered that he could focus his annual Councilmember column in the <br /> newsletter on economic development. <br /> Commissioner Altstatt suggested that an article be written that explains why the City's local <br /> businesses are important to the City's financial stability. <br /> Chair von Holtum added that a follow-up article about the City's business districts including <br /> how they enhance the City's livability may be appreciated. <br /> After further discussion, the Commission agreed to the following newsletter schedule. <br /> Newsletter Submission Topic Assigned To <br /> Issue Deadline <br /> March February 1 Delkor Systems Jill Hutmacher <br /> May April 5 Gradient Center Jill Hutmacher <br /> June May 3 Business Contribution to the City Commissioner Dan Altstatt <br /> July June 7 Business Districts Chair Ed von Holtum <br /> Aug/Sept July 19 State of the City Promotion Jill Hutmacher <br /> October September 6 Report on State of the City TBD <br /> November October 4 Letter on Economic Development Councilmember Werner <br /> It was the consensus of the Commission to postpone discussion of an economic development <br /> newsletter until a meeting when more Commissioners could be in attendance. <br /> C.
