Michael Leek presented the EDA with the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Economic
Development Services.
Mr. Leek said the RFP is a project-oriented one, staff does not expect that it will require
that the advisory EDAC to meet on a regular monthly bases. Staff thought it would be
sufficient for the EDAC to be convened on an "as needed" basis.
Commissioner Menden asked Mr. Leek if he felt that the Council gave staff enough
information describing the key tasks they want this position to focus on. Mr. Leek said
that Council has given very clear guidance on the things that are central to what functions
this position would do.
Commissioners Clay and Schmitt felt that the person or firm who would be taking on the
Economic Development activities for the City should meet with the EDA frequently to
get an idea as to what the EDA's goals and visions are for the position.
