OLD BUSINESS - Industri'al Appreciation Week
Mrs. Massey reviewed the letter sent to City Council in which the Board
recommended a small industrial fair be held on September 22 in the Community
Center. The Board had also requested authorization to have a reception
for industry representatives. She advised that the Council had given them
the use of the Community Center for the event, but would not approve the
use of funds for the reception.
Mrs. Massey informed those present that the secretary had received two
inquiries from Zon Energy in Ormond Beach about the fair, requesting that
they be mailed applications to participate in the fair. Zon Energy does
work in Edgewater for the Florida Power and Light Company. Mrs. Massey
sought the Board's recommendation reo asking Council to reconsider the
use of funds for the fair and reception.
Minutes from the City Council meeting of June 18 pertaining to the Board's
request were read.
Board members talked about the purpose of the Industrial Board and wonder-
ed whether they were accomplishing their goal. All members present
expressed their disappointment and concern about the apparent lack of
understanding and support of their recommendations.
It was pointed out by Mr. Vazquez that Council has given approval to hold
the fair, but it did not provide the funds to properly do the job. He
questioned if the Board wanted to continue with the fair under these
circumstances. The members felt that having the fair and the reception
to express appreciation for their contribution to the City is a complete
"kit". They did not feel that the fair should be held without the
reception.
Mr. Schneider recommended that the Board go ahead with the plans for just
a fair this year in the hope that Council would approve the expenses for
letters of invitation, mailing, certificates of appreciation, etc. Mrs.
Massey pointed out that time is running out. It was agreed that the
industrial fair should be cancelled this year.
Mrs. Middleton motioned that the proposal for an Industrial Fair be with-
drawn. Mr. Schneider suggested that an amendment be added that a letter
be sent to Council advising them of same. Mr. Poland seconded the amended
motion, which CARRIED 6-0.

Mrs. Massey reported that Council did approve the Board's request that

agenda. Mrs. Taylor was asked to advise the Planning and Zoning Board that
the recommendation of the Board will be forthcoming after the next meeting.
Mrs. Middleton motioned that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Poland
seconded the motion.
