V. Economic Development Plan. The Committee noted that the latest draft of the Economic Development Plan reflects the comments made at the last meeting and that it was good to see the actual draft rather than voting on revisions. The Committee indicated that the consensus had been that the overall, number one goal is to decide on an organizational structure to actually be charged with the responsibilities of implementing the Economic Development Plan. The Committee intends to have that structure determined in the near future but did not want the entire plan to be delayed in the meantime, so several specific items have been slated for immediate action. DeMarb made a motion, seconded by Ringhand, to approve the Economic Development Plan as drafted. Motion approved unanimously.

VI. Adjournment. Berg made a motion, seconded by Olsen, to adjourn. Motion approved unanimously at 11:05.
