All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Rescheduling July 17, 2019 Regular Meeting Administrator Statz asked if the EDA would like to change the date of the regularly scheduled EDA meeting since it falls during the week of the city’s festival (Fete des Lacs). The consensus was that the Wednesday night activities planned for Fete des Lacs, which involved public safety night, did not interfere with the business of the board, and therefore, there was not a strong desire to reschedule. Since the consensus was to leave the meeting date as is, there was no formal action taken. 3. Set date for Business Open House and Revolving Loan/Grant Program Roll- out Administrator Statz asked the Commission to consider a date to host an open house in order to roll out the Business Loan/Grant program. Consensus was to have the open house on the same night as the regular EDA meeting (July 17).
