Cunningham, City Manager SUBJECT: Revised Ordinance Regarding BCD Duties and Responsibilities March 23, 1990 DATE: After the discussion with City Council with regard to the revised ordi- nance for the Board of City Development, I would like to ask that you make the requested changes by City Council, which as I understand it, is on Section 2-412 (5), which is Page 2 of the Ordinance. The way I understand it, the Council wanted to delete the phrase "without approval of City Council". That would then have this read as follows: "The Board may seek out and employ a Director of Economic Development." As I understand it, no other items within the revised ordinance are to be changed, unless my notes are different from yours. I would appreciate your preparing this revised ordinance and placing it on the April 12 City Council Agenda for Council action. If you have any questions or your notes are different from mine on this issue, please let me know.
