The Chair, C/M Graham, called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m.
The Chair reviewed the agenda, citing the three (3) items that were ready for action.
Item #10, RESO 2007-1043, Auth Economic Dev Agreemt w/ J.C. Renfroe & Sons, Inc., was discussed. C/M Joost thought that the language referencing”advertising” for the newly created jobs was a rather vague expression. What constituted “advertising?” Joe Whittaker of JEDC indicated that the developer did not particularly relish being told what to do by the Council. The Chair suggested that C/M Joost meet with the developer’s representative and Mr. Whittaker before the Committee was convened to arrive at some agreement on language.
Lisa Rinaman indicated that the Administration was prepared to move on item #15, ORD 2007-1094, Apv Payment of $3,077,519 as settlement of Dispute with IKON Office Solutions re: Library System over Pymt for Printing & Copying Svcs & Equipmt, at the next committee cycle.
