Ted Kottcamp called the meeting to order at 7:30 AM
We opened the meeting with a discussion about the outstanding issues related to the EDC presentation for the June 8 Board of Selectman meeting and June 18 meeting with Town businesses/property owners. The topics and action items included:
1. Approval of the EDC Strategic Plan presentation- the draft power point presentation was reviewed and approved with changes. The final presentation format (text only) to be submitted to committee members under separate cover.
2. June 8 BoS Meeting
a. Jim provided a draft of the meeting announcement to town residents which will be distributed with the Georgetown Electric Bill (June 1st or 2nd). The amendment to the announcement omitted the “review of committee bylaws.”
b. Action Item:- Jim to confirm if the EDC email address was set-up and posted in the town website.
c. Tillie provided a draft of the announcement to town residents through the local cable channel. The committee was in agreement with the language of the announcement.
3. June 18 EDC-Town Meeting
a. It was in agreement that the objective of the meeting was to provide an overview of the EDC strategic plan along with a “round-table” discussion to understand the wants/needs of the local business community & property owners.
b. Action Items:-
i. Jim to confirm if the EDC can use the Georgetown Savings Bank conference room as the meeting venue. It was agreed that location/proximity to town is a key feature for the proposed meeting.
ii. Jim to forward town business mailing list to EDC members for future prioritization by the committee; intent to identify those businesses/property owners considered priority attendees.
iii. Paul to draft new language for the invitations.
Due to the EDC-Town Meeting deadline and the need to send invitations in early June, it was agreed to meet again before the June 8 BoS meeting.
