Summary of Meeting
The Work Session.
1.The Council met with the Economic Development Committee and with Craig
Waldron from the City of Oakdale to discuss the economic development tools and
the make up of the EDC. Concern was expressed that the EDC doesn’t heave a
clear vision of their purpose. The council liked the idea of forming an Economic
Development Authority in order to be able to use the special authority to support
economic development. It was agreed that EDC should have some goals and
objectives.
2.EDC will meet to discuss their role and to decide if they would like to continue to
exist or if it may be better to have the Council as the EDA take over the economic
development functions.
