Through the course of <br />discussion, it was determined that weather conditions sometime in August would most likely be <br />more cooperative for the golf outing held in conjunction with Business Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults suggested that a businessperson of the year could be named at the Business <br />Exposition and a plaque awarded. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg stated that the City itself should not name a person, although a business association <br />could initiate such au action. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg added that the Chamber of Commerce would also be able to name a <br />businessperson of the year. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson asked if there was a master list somewhere of businesses and <br />correspondence regarding past Business Expositions and Business Appreciation Days. Some <br />businesses were missed at the last Business Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg wanted to know if the Economic Development Commission would <br />handle the funding. The Commission discussed various alternatives. The Economic Development <br />Company has provided for the funding of the Business Exposition in past years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults said that he feels the By-Laws of the Economic Development Company <br />should be changed in order to again make it a viable entity. Economic Development Company <br />member Stephen DeLuca has a list of share holders and other information that would be very <br />helpful in making this event successful. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg commented that share holder attendance is poor at the meetings of the <br />Economic Development Company, which makes it nearly impossible to elect board members. <br /> <br /> omm~ss~one.~ote~ that scheduling the Business Exposition in the fall will help us to give <br />everyone who would like to participate an oppo~unity to do so. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg mentioned that a business association could coordinate this event as a channel for <br />funding is a ~ tool. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg agreed to locate the Economic Development Company records and <br />update them for use by the Economic Development Com~ssion and then to repo~ his findings m <br />the Economic Development Commission in M~ch. <br /> <br />Case #2: Sign Ordinance Review. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg distributed copies of a draft sign ordinance for the Commission to review and work <br />fi'om as well as being able to compare it to the present sign ordinance enclosed in the agenda <br />packet.
