Commissioner Anderson asked about the meeting times for EDA meetings; according to
1990 meeting minutes, the meeting time is 6:00 p.m. and in 1995 by-laws, the meeting
time is 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Anderson suggests the EDA meet after Council
meetings. Attorney Bubul said there is some confusion because he has a version of the by-
laws which have a meeting time of 6:00 p.m.; he suggests the by-laws be amended to
reflect the 6:00 p.m. meeting time.
