Mr. Kampfer discussed with the board the Smart Communities planning initiative and <br />suggested that planning for the city needs to begin with a cataloging and description of <br />assets. He advised that this could be accomplished with a G1S system and would like to <br />work the implementation of this system through the City of Paris. <br />The board was updated on the Main Street committee that was formed last month. This <br />committee consists of Pike Burkhart and Glen Bawcum representing the EDC board, and <br />Joe McCarthy and Jesse Freelen representing the City Council. This committee is <br />scheduled to meet immediately following the EDC board meeting on 4/14. <br />The Board convened into Executive Session at 4:26 p.m. pursuant to Section <br />551.087 of the Texas Government Code to discuss and deliberate an offer of a financial <br />ar other incentive to a business prospect to locate, stay, or expand in Paris and consider <br />any commercial and financial information related to the business prospect. Executive <br />session concluded at 5:03 p.m. As a result of executive session discussion, the board <br />authorized Mr. Kampfer to negotiate for the purchase of properties adjacent to the <br />Industrial Park, with negotiated price for all parcels not to exceed $66,000. The action <br />passed unanimously on a motion by Dan Smith, seconded by John Wright. <br />There being no further business to come before the board, the meeting was <br />adjourned at 5:05 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Rachel Schory <br />Economic Development Specialist <br />April 14, 2009 <br />~U9 0 Q~'~ ~ <br />
