Chairman Lott began by thanking Mayor Thomas for attending the meeting and then read the Board's

guideline and what they use to give them direction in their duties as Board members. The Board believes
that the document should be updated based on the vision City Council has for the future of Edgewater.
G:\Pat\edb\edb-minutes\2007\minute010307.reg..doc 1
Determining that vision was the basis of the joint meeting. He then asked the Mayor to address the Board
regarding the Councils vision for the City.
Mayor Thomas stated that his campaign platform was to slow down the growth in the City and insure that
future growth is done in the correct way.
There was much discussion regarding the effects of the recent Charter Amendments, especially as they
apply to height restrictions for commercial and industrial development.
Mr. Williams discussed the plans that Bert Fish Hospital had for the property they purchased on the south
end of the City. He stated that since the Charter Amendments,the plans have been put on hold,explaining
that the height restriction make it prohibitive to develop that property as was planned.
Mr.Caplan explained that Brunswick Commercial may be forced to move their facility if they are unable to
expand. There was then much discussion regarding what effect the Charter Amendments will have on
ParkTowne development. City Council will be addressing that issue at the January 8, 2007 meeting.
Mayor Thomas stated that he felt that if the Board felt so strongly that the Charter Amendment addressing
exemptions for Commercial and Industrial development was misunderstood by the voters,that perhaps a
new referendum vote would be in order. There was discussion on how that would be accomplished.
The Board consensus was that their role was to follow the dictates of Council and that it is Council's role
to provide leadership and vision to the Edgewater residents.
MOTION by Mr. Williams,SECOND by Mr. Caplan for the Economic Development Board to request
in writing that City Council provide direction for the Board to proceed, with regard to the existing
Program of Work and the current state of affairs:
MOTION PASSED 9-0
It was suggested that the request address specific issues for which the Board requires clarification and
direction.Chairman Lott asked that Board members send their specific recommendations to be included in
the request to the Board Coordinator no later than Friday,January 5,2007. At that time he will develop a
letter to City Council, which will be sent via email for the Board's, prior to being submitted.

Ms McBride,
First, I would like to thank the Mayor and City Council for the opportunity to discuss the future
economic development of our fair city. We are aware that we serve at the pleasure of City
Council and we endeavor to proceed in the direction mandated by this council. There have been
many changes to the past several months and we are no longer clear on the current councils
objectives. In an effort to be as productive as possible I would offer a short list of talking points
that we feel will help our board to understand the direction and vision of this Council.
Clarification of the Charter Amendment as to who is affected and what are the exceptions.
Councils vision for:
195 Exchange
442 Corridor
Proposed Williamson Blvd Ext
US#1 re-development
Future of Parktowne and other Industrial sites?
Bert Fish facility opportunities?
Councils expectations of the EDB and have they changed with the passing of the charter
amendment and LDC changes?
We hope to exit this meeting with a clear understanding of our direction and purpose so we can
serve our community in the best interest of all its citizens.
