did hold their meeting first one in a while we were happy to u happy to get the ban back together u March 21st it was held here in council at 4:00 um due to the fact of terms expiring and retirements Etc we've been limping through on a u very limited number of u of Commissioners we had met with Council u it had been decided that we would um you know we really didn't draw a conclusion we brought it back to the Eda u the Eda through their conversations decided they would like to remain u an Eda and continue to operate as such going forward until which time we would like to take a look and review at it review it again um so at which time they're u the website I believe there are is information for those interested in becoming an Eda member um if anyone knows u residents business owners Etc they they would be a good fit please direct them towards the city's Direction um I would like to introduce the new president of the Eda Mr John mongi thank you u as long as and Joe Matthews is a vice was is Vice President as well um we had lengthy conversation about what's the Eda look like what do we look at going forward um and we really came to the conclusion that we need a big cheerleader for the city um and unfortunately some of those who you know some of those who retired that have been on the Eda for years did a lot of that for us um so we had discussion on what would it look like if we either hired a consultant or looked at an outside company that would specialize in Ed that would help solicit new business attend events um to promote the city um work with the current building and land owners to um bring perspective businesses or clients in into them um and that brought us to u Mr Winnick is gone but um Finance director Winnick will be providing um information at the next upcoming meeting just what does it look like how is the funding looking um the Eda does fund um portions of salaries of three individuals with um on staff so we need to take a look at what that looks like how it would potentially impact or not impact City budgets um so there's a lot of a lot of things that that came out of it but it was good to get together um the next meeting is April 9th but that meeting is cancelled u the next meeting will actually be April 23rd we backed it off a couple of weeks just u in order to get u additional candidates to express interest in in being with the Eda and I don't know it's 4 o'cl here in council chambers yep correct u we also decided the Eda was going to go to quarterly meetings once we get settled and people in place quarterly correct y okay I'm
