Dan Smith asked the members present to look over the job description he provided them for the Executive Director /CEO position. He stated that he had visited with a number of the original founders that formed the EDC and got their thoughts on the benefits of the position being combined or being separated. He has yet to have any negative comments on separating the position. Chad Brown confirmed the he had no negative feedback either. Dan Smith then provided the members present with a Meinorandum of Understanding (MOU) that himself and Aike Burkhart had come up with outlining what the EDC and Chainber would be obligated to if the position were separate. Mr. Smith also referenced the budget comparisons of the fiscal year budgets from 2004 to 2010. He pointed out that the General and Administrative (G&A) expenses had doubled during Pete Kampfer's tenure. Dan Smith made a motion to separate the duties, pay the Chamber for services equal, but not to exceed, 4% of the annual projected or actual Total Current Revenue of the PEDC, contingent on City Council approval of the proposed MOU; and pay Chamber's portion of Pete Kampfer's severance package; seconded by Chad Brown.
