Commissioners Elsen and Nystrom. Members of the Economic Development
Authority Advisory Commission present were Commissioners Hoffmann, Rygg,
Hansen and Krueger.
Staff members present were Executive Director Jerry Dulgar, Planner Steve

There was discussion regarding the proposed process for reviewing EDA
assisted redevelopment and development projects. Norris reviewed the
revised process and compared the differences between the October 26th
version and the revised version.
There was discussion as to the Commission's role and whether the EDA
Advisory Commission should be looking at long term economic development and
redevelopment issues. The consensus was that it was unwise not to have
regular meetings of the Commission. If there are no agenda items, meetings
can be cancelled as necessary. The Advisory Commission noted that they
were willing to meet as often as necessary to accommodate special projects
or proposals. It was decided that the EDA Advisory Commission would keep
its monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each month and that meetings
would be cancelled if there were no agenda items.
There was discussion regarding the annual site tour of development sites
and throughout the City. It was agreed that this was very useful for the
EDA, City Council, Planning Commission and EDA Advisory Commission. It was
suggested that there be some sort of follow-up discussion after the site
tour.
There was discussion regarding Mr. Bryant's proposal for 2731 Douglas
Drive. The EDA and staff updated the EDA Advisory and Planning Commissions
on Mr. Bryant's proposal for a 20 unit apartment project at 2731 Douglas
Drive.
