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 <br />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 <br />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 <br />offeredthat he could focus his annual Councilmember column in the <br />newsletter on economic development. <br />Commissioner Altstatt <br />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 <br />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 newsletterschedule. <br />Newsletter Submission TopicAssigned To <br />IssueDeadline <br />MarchFebruary 1Delkor SystemsJill Hutmacher <br />MayApril 5Gradient CenterJill Hutmacher <br />JuneMay 3Business Contribution to the CityCommissioner Dan Altstatt <br />JulyJune 7Business Districts Chair Ed von Holtum <br />Aug/SeptJuly 19State of the City PromotionJill Hutmacher <br />OctoberSeptember 6Report on State of the CityTBD <br />November October 4Letter on Economic DevelopmentCouncilmember Werner <br />It was the consensus of theCommission to postpone discussion of an economic development <br />newsletter until a meeting when more Commissioners could be in attendance. <br />C.EDC Meeting Schedule <br />
