April 14, 2004 <br />Page 3 <br />Mr. Vest mentioned that the State has put out a request for proposals on a fish <br />hatchery. He and President Wall have been working with representatives from <br />the State Parks and Wildlife on this. He indicated, although Paris probably will <br />not have a chance to qualify for this particular hatchery, there will probably be <br />several more down the road and Paris has a good chance for one of those. <br />Director Dunn asked how many jobs this hatchery would create. Mr. Vest <br />estimated about 15 direct jobs. He said the hatchery in Athens, Texas, has <br />more jobs tied to it, but it also has a visitor center. He suggested that they also <br />consider having a visitor center if Paris qualified for a hatchery in the future. <br />President Wall called for the audit report and Gene Anderson returned to the <br />podium. Mr. Anderson said there were no problems found during the audit. <br />He called the PEDC’s attention to the new reporting format. The format was <br />changed to meet the requirements of the GASB 34 for reporting. <br />Resolution 2004-003, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Paris <br />Economic Development Corporation approving the audit for the fiscal year <br />ending September 30, 2003, was presented by City Attorney Schenk. Director <br />Severson made a motion to approve the resolution. Director Dunn seconded <br />the motion and it carried unanimously. <br />President Wall said the next item was a closed session in accordance with Sec. <br />551.086 of the Open Meetings Act, to discuss possible incentives, pending <br />negotiations, and commercial or financial information from business prospects <br />regarding the following: <br /> A. Prospect 2004-100. <br /> B. Prospect 2004-200. <br />The Open Session closed at 4:25 P.M. <br />The Open Session reconvened at 5:09 P.M. Director Wall indicated that no <br /> <br />
