From: Tort1 Haman
Re: July; 7's ting Agenda
I'm sorry tat I won't be able to be with you for the Meeting.
Barbara's Otealth status is fluctuating. We've been regulars at the
Emergency Room and at the intemist/catrdiologists office over the past
month. Wb'11 be visiting with the internist and a neurologist this week.
As to the My 7" Agenda:
Newslettel' - Following this memo is a copy of a Fayette County Economic
Development Authority Newsletter- done on both sides of a single g %z x 14
sheet. It plovides some insight into the kind of information we might
consider io our version. The Edgewater adaptation should be geared to
several audiences. It should educate/inform local residents as to our purpose,
goals, acccj nplishments and future direction. It should also provide
informatiop of interest about local businesses, their operations and success
stories, as Yvell as feature business opportunities for new site locations, staff
training, alit.
I'm still willing to take on the writing assignment providing that the Board
and City staff feed me the information needed to develop the issue. I'll call
and talk to:Susan about space available and mechanics of production.
Hotel/moto prospect —We have the ear and the interest of a major
hotel/mote development group. Ken Hooper at al are developing a
community prospectus to share with them. Please have the working draft
Fedex to Y* for review and suggested amendment. I'll return it for
finalizing On a quick turnaround. The Group would like to see our
prospectuafproposal before September.
Page 2/ Eon Dev — July 7 04
The current view is toward a "courtyard" type facility with some
conferencing capability. It could be either a franchised or independent
operation.
&000mic development materials — The budget approval for staffing
would be a major positive step in our program's development. However, it is
almost like having a great new car, but no gas to operate it if there isn't
adequate operating dollars. We need partners in order to produce a new
updated and more complete CD, a brochure and presentation folder, as well
as a portable exhibit frame and program panels.
I've followed up on Rick Michael's email to Ken Hooper of May 17t'
offering some support for materials design and printing cost on joint
collateral materials development. I've left messages but no response to date.
We can also explore joint efforts with the Chamber, Port Orange and New
Smyrna Bgach. Our initial exploration with the two cities was quite positive
and Steve Dennis has always been a team player.
Let me know how you want to proceed.

Welcome to our Cost column featuring the latest activities and
announcements from Edgewater's Economic Development
Board
The Edgewater Economic Development Board, assisted by the
Planning and Development Department, consists of nine volun-
tary members, appointed by the City Council. The EDB's mis-
sion and purpose is to identify and recommend to the City Coun-
cil implementation strategies to help create newjobs, expand the
tax base, diversify the economy, and enhance the quality of life
in Edgewater. The Board's goals are to retain and expand local
businesses, assist in creating new business start-up opportuni-
ties, market the economic benefits of the community, and recruit
new businesses.

Spotlight
The Economic Development Board salutes the many contribu-
tions to our community by Kenneth May, founder of Coronado
Paint Co., who passed away on February 15.
Ken and his wife Phyllis founded Coronado Paint Co. in 1957,
growing the company from a small local paint manufacturer to
an industry leader of national and international importance.
Ken was an entrepenem and innovator. After the Mays sold
Coronado Paint Co. to European paint giant Tollens Co. in 1980,
his accomplishments continued as founder of Coronado Marble
Co. and Coronado Laboratories, both located in New Smyrna
Beach.
Coronado Paint Co. remains today one of Edgewater's leading
companies. Coronado employs 165 persons in manufacturing,
managerial and technical positions.
The May's legacy of Edgewater extends beyond Coronado Paint
Co. They donated part of Menard—May Park to the City. This
popular riverfrom recreation area brings enjoyment to all of am
citizens.
rrrrrar
EDE member Chris Balmer recently represented Edgewater at
the Design and Manufacturing Show at the Javas Convention
Center in New York City. Chris distributed pamphlets and CD's
promoting Edgewater to potential businesses considering reloca-
tion to Florida Bia networking led to conversations with eight
different companies, and Edgewater's location on the Intra-
coastal Waterway was a great draw.

Upcoming Events
At our last meeting, EDB member Nom Aly announced plans
for the second Business -to -Business Expo. Tentatively set for
Fall 2004, details will be available soon for this popular event,
which gives Edgewater businesses a chance to spotlight their
goods and services, meeting, greet and network.
Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce Executive Director
Steve Dennis announced at a recent EDE meeting the Chamber
will be hosting a Business After Hours August 12th for bmi-
nesses in Southeast Volusia who work out of households or have
no regular storefronts. This is for Chamber members only and
would be an excellent opportunity for Edgewater businesses
who might not otherwise have an opportunity to promote them-
selves locally. Call Southeast Volusia Chamber at 386-428-
2449 for more details.
The Edgewater Economic Development Board meets on the first
Wednesday of the month at 8 a.m, usually at the Edgewater
Community Center. The public is welcome and input from
Edgewater's business community is always encouraged.
