CONTINUED BUSINESS:
A. Program of Work
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed amendments to the City Charter. The Boards
concensus is that it is important for the voters to be able to make an informed decision. Several
points of concern were raised should the Citizens sponsored amendment pass and the City
sponsored amendment fail, including; limiting healthcare and other public use facilities, possible
litigation against the City. Encouragement of sprawl, and the inevitable increase in tax burden
on residential uses.
The Board decided to hold an educational forum for the citizens of Edgewater and will invite
representatives from both sides of the issue as well as City Staff. Mr. McGinnis will make
contact with the ECARD group and Mr. Lott will contact individuals opposing the amendment.
A special meeting of the EDB will be held October 11, 2006 at 8:00 a.m. to discuss details
regarding the forum.
