APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Mr. Siciliano noted that (as stated in the minutes) he had not yet
written the letter to the Council recommending that the property east
of the railroad zoned 1-2 be changed. He said that he would get it
done.
Mr. Gnau moved to accept the minutes of the October 1, 1981 meeting.
Mr. MoIster seconded it. Motion carried 8-0.
Mr. Siciliano introduced the new secretary, Cecelia Moore.
The Board examined a new flow chart that shows the separate duties
of each Board member. Mr. Duby volunteered to handle the Government
and Taxes section.
Mr. Sawyer moved to accept the organization chart. Mr. Landry seconded
it. Motion carried 8-0.
Mr. Siciliano reported that Magnuson presented a sketch plan to the
Zoning and Planning Board for the new shopping center. The Board has
approved the plan and decided that it basically meets the comprehensive
plan. Mr. Siciliano suggested that the Board members take a look
at the plan, which is in the Planning Office. There was some discussion
about Magnuson and their connection with Florida Shores. Mr. Siciliano
pointed out that before any building started they would have to sub-
mit preliminary and final plans to the Zoning and Planning Board,
and abide by the City ordinances. It was pointed out that Magnuson
will keep control of the shopping center, and rent out the store space.
There was some further disucssion about what stores would be in the
shopping center.
There was also discussion about the sign ordinance and some of the
signs in present shopping centers. Mr. Siciliano suggested that the
Board think about any changes they would like to see in the sign
ordinance, how it pertains or affects the industrial park, and it
would be discussed at the next meeting.

The Board discussed advertising. Mrs. Massey had a sample brochure
to give the Board an idea of one type of advertising. The brochure
could have pictures of different types of industry that are in the
city. Mr. Siciliano suggested putting a layout of the Industrial
Park in the brochure. The Secretary agreed to check into reducing
the Industrial Park layout to a size that would fit in a brochure.
Mr. Siciliano had looked into current industry in the City. There are
approximately 20 industr~es in the area. He discussed several
different ones. Mr. Sawyer suggested putting in the brochure some
highlights of the industry in the City, the work force, etc. Mrs.
Massey showed several publications that she felt would be a good
place for the City to advertise their Industrial Park, including the
Washington Review and Florida Trend Magazine. Mrs. Massey suggested
that Florida Trend might run an article about the Park. Mr. Zigmund
thought they might be able to run a small ad in the classifieds of
trade journals. Mr. Siciliano pointed out that they had not really
set any sort of advertising budget, and that he had no idea of how
much money there would be. Mr. Zigmund said that since the business
community would also benefit from this Industrial Park, the City
could go to them for money. Mr. Siciliano suggested that the Board
should set some kind of budget for advertising, and then go to the
Council with it. After some discussion of what kind of brochure it
could be -- color, black and white, etc., Mr. Zigmund agreed to get
some estimates on the price of printing a brochure and he will present
it at the next meeting.
Mayor Christy reported from the County Council meeting. The County
wants to raise the gas tax by one cent, which he feels will not help
the City of Edgewater, or its industrial park. In addition, they
want to raise the sales tax from 4 cents to 5 cents. He feels that if
the municipalities would get the extra cent then the City should
support it.
Mr. Siciliano said that he had tried to get in touch with FEC but
had not talked to them yet. He wanted to see if they had done any-
thing new, because they had not corne in with their site plans yet.
He said he would find out before the next meeting.
Mr. Sawyer and Mrs. Massey said they would get together before the
next meeting and work on additional ideas for the brochure.
Mr. Zigmund wanted to know if he should collect catalogs from the
different schools in the area, including the universities in Deland
and Orlando. It was decided that he should and he will try to have
them for the next meeting.
Mrs. Massey moved to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Sawyer seconded it.
Meeting adjourned.
