3. The EDC reviewed the design of the City flag using the City logo and City
colors. The EDC approved the design and color concept and requested the City
Council review and offer their comments. If the City Council approves of the
city flag as presented, the Director and Boardmember Riste are to order 4 flags
and present them to the City for their use as a donation from the EDC. The
total cost of the 4 flags is not to exceed $355.24. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
4. The next item reviewed by the board was the Director's report. The Director
informed the board that the Overhead Reimbursement charge for the EDC from the
City should be increased by $18,350. This increase reflects the actual Over-
head Reimbursement charge. The City auditors for 1990 have placed this charge
under the Farmington Housing and Redevelopment Authorities Overhead Reimbursement
account. Therefore, the EDC's 1990 Overhead Reimbursement charge will be
channelled through the HRA general funds. In 1991, Overhead Reimbursement charges
will not be channelled through the HRA. The HRA has agreed to absorb a larger
share of the Overhead Reimbursement charges in the amount of $7,501. instead of
$3,650. MOTION by Ruberto second by Harms increasing the Overhead Reimbursement
payment to the City by $18,350. This payment is to be channelled through the
Farmington HRA General FUnd. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
5. The Director reviewed the projects in process noting the Elm Park development
agreements have been signed with construction commencing by September 15, 1991.
6. Chairperson Galler reviewed the progress of the Star City program noting the
Director has been searching for an intern to assist in the completion of the
program.
7. The board commented on the positive responses from the Blandin delegates as to
the quality presentation by the Blandin Community Leadership program. Chairperson
Galler informed the board of the progress in the City Councils Comprehensive
meetings noting how these meetings relate to the original mission of the EDC.
A general meeting of the City Council and the entities within the city is
scheduled for April 27, 1991 with discussion as to what is the vision of
these groups for Farmington in the future. A long discussion followed as to the
role the EDC is to play in this process and how the Blandin delegates will be
involved. It was determined that the delegates were to be invited to the next
EDC meeting on April 11, 1991. The participation level of the Blandin delegates
in the visioning process will be determined at this meeting by the delegates.
After further discussion, the consensus of the EDC members was for all EDC
members to be prepared to discuss what EDC's vision is for Farmington in the
future at the April 11, 1991 regular meeting.
