Commission votes to add monthly 'Newington business brief' and appoints chamber liaison
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a motion to add a standing monthly 'Newington business brief' to agendas and voted to appoint a chamber liaison by voice vote; the chamber representative also summarized recent events and solicited volunteers for an August 3 golf fundraiser.
The Newington Economic Development Commission voted to add a monthly agenda item called the "Newington business brief" and appointed a chamber liaison during its regular meeting.
The proposal, made by the Chamber representative, would provide the commission with a short monthly list of business openings and closings compiled from local sources. The commission approved the item by voice vote after a motion and second.
The chamber representative also delivered a report on recent events: a car show held June 25, a networking event July 1 with about 30 attendees, and upcoming Chamber Golf Tournament on Aug. 3. She said the chamber is exploring simple analytics for its website and social media and reported three new chamber members.
Separately, commissioners moved and seconded a vote to approve last month’s minutes; the chair called for the ayes and declared the minutes approved. Later in the meeting commissioners nominated and approved the chamber liaison by voice vote, with the chair announcing the motion carried.
The commission asked staff to distribute the new brief electronically and for the chamber representative to send materials to the staff liaison for distribution to commissioners.
