Economic Development Committee recommends initial members for Community Investment Corporation
Summary
The Economic Development Committee recommended seven initial members for a new Community Investment Corporation—four community representatives (Beth Delaney, Brett Baxter, Amy Hiner, Joel Fox) and three city officials (the Mayor, the Economic Development Committee chair, and the Service-Safety Director). The recommendation will move forward for city appointments.
At the April 30 meeting the Economic Development Committee reported a recommendation for the initial seven-member slate for the Community Investment Corporation (CIC). Committee chair Josh Bradley identified four proposed community members — Beth Delaney, Brett Baxter, Amy Hiner and Joel Fox — and three city positions to be filled by the Mayor, the Economic Development Committee chair, and the Service-Safety Director.
Bradley said the recommendation was to move forward with those names. The minutes do not record a formal council vote on appointments at this meeting; they reflect committee recommendation for the appointment process to proceed. The minutes also note that Jeff Martin of ICP and State Senator Mark Romanchuk met regarding a grant to develop the Ontario Commerce Park, indicating concurrent economic-development activity.
The record does not specify terms, powers, or the CIC’s charter; those details will need to be published in the formal appointment materials or enabling legislation if the council advances the recommendation.
