Kate moved to approve the minutes of the last meeting as presented, and Bob seconded;

The $7000 available to Laurel from the Beat'tooth RC&D was discussed. It was decided
to use it to appraise the two lots on the east end of 4t~ Street South for possible
condemnation by the City. This will allow much better access to Entertainment Park
Subdivision, lack of such access in the past may have contributed to the loss of at least
one business. John so moved and Judy seconded; motion carried. Cai to prepare letter
outlining proposal and send it to the RC&D.
The need for a fulltime economic development coordinator in Laurel was discussed. Cai
will provide an example of an advertised job description for such an individual (one used
in H~rdin recently), and the OC will prep~e one for Laurel at our next meeting. At our
next meeting we will decide whether to advertise for such a position. Advertising will
give us an idea o£its feasibility and what is going to be involved. Cai is requesting
$20,000 in his next City-County Plarming budget to provide a match for the position. Jon
Rutt indicated the Chamber may be interested. Also discussed were overhead costs.
Cai presented a bill £or $650. Larry moved to approve with Bob seconding; motion
carried.
Cai wants to move the streetscape to the City Council for approval, and he will prepare a
presentation for the OC next month with the idea that the OC would so recommend to the
Council.

Provide for a Safe and Efficient Airport" received from the FAA.
Meeting adjourned.
