Committee discusses rolling EDAC into new EDC; attorney filing remains next step
Summary
Members discussed plans to replace the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) with a new Economic Development Corporation (EDC), questions about reapplication of members and a pending city‑attorney filing; no formal vote was taken.
Members discussed transitioning the Economic Development Advisory Committee into a new Economic Development Corporation and clarified remaining procedural steps.
The council liaison said the proposed EDC bylaws were reviewed and that the city attorney must file the new EDC paperwork with council. Committee members asked whether current EDAC members would need to reapply to the EDC and were told that is a question that still needs clarification.
Norma, the council liaison, said the council adopted the bylaws and asked the attorney to vet them to ensure compliance with state requirements. Committee members asked whether the process requires a fresh application by existing members; staff said they would confirm whether reapplication is required before the EDC is seated.
There was no motion or vote recorded. The committee agreed to await the city attorney’s filing and additional guidance about member eligibility and any formal vote that the council must take to establish the EDC.
No funding decisions or appointments were made at the meeting.
