<br />Commissioner Williams stated it is interesting that the more pleasing Backlit sign is not allowed <br />in some districts though it was agreed that this may be a factor of technology moving faster than <br />the ordinances. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau asked when we should discuss other Economic Development <br />Commission priorities as the Commission works through the sign code review. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Fransen said yes there will be opportunities to work on other items at the same <br />time as the Sign Code review. It was agreed that Commissioners will bring their priorities to the <br />next meeting to discuss and staff will compile suggestions that came up during interviews with <br />commission members. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued about creating more meaningful communication with business leaders. <br />Networking events and surveys were discussed. <br /> <br />7. COMMENTS AND REPORTS <br /> <br />7.A. Report From The City Council <br /> <br />Councilmember Rousseau said that as the liaison with the Council she will provide information <br />to and from the Council and other Committees. The State of the City will be January 20th at City <br />Hall. Open House notifications will be shared with the Commissioners so they will be able to <br />provide a Commission presence at local business events. <br /> <br />7.B. Economic Development Commission Comments <br /> <br />Commissioner Cupery asked if the city has a business directory. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gronquist responded that there a list is on the website, but it should be more <br />dynamic with links to businesses and perhaps put into logical groups instead of alphabetically. <br /> <br />8. ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
