Program: Council Member Narain stated that he would like to discuss for clarification the report from Jan Perkins and correspondence from the City Manager regarding the workshop. He stated that one of the issues specifically relates to the B.R.A.C.E. Program and the formation of an ad hoc committee to improve the relationship with the business community. It was his understanding there was not a consensus on this idea. Mayor Luebben stated it was his recollection that the discussion included who should be on the committee with Council Member Bailey expressing his interest in participating. He stated that the discussion included the Mayor being on the committee and the Mayor appointing one other person. Council Member Narain stated that there was not complete agreement or a conclusion as to who would be on the committee. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore stated that it was his understanding that the committee would include the Mayor with the other member being decided by the whole City Council. Council Member Mills stated that he recalled the initial concept being two Council Members and the City Manager meeting with the businesses. He stated that he and Mayor Pro Tem Seymore had volunteered to serve on the committee but Council Member Narain did not. Council Member Narain stated that his issue is that the whole process was not completely agreed upon. Mayor Luebben stated that he felt Council Member Bailey would be good on the committee and because of other Council Member scheduling, Dr. Narain would be a good alternate. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore expressed that the decision should be made by the entire Council, not as an appointment by the Mayor. ~~~ CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 14, 2007 Council Member Bailey stated that, as a businessman, he could help in the recruitment and retaining of larger businesses. Council Member Mills suggested that staff recap for the Council at a separate meeting the marketing study that was done against the B.R.A.C.E. Program. Mayor Pro Tem Luebben stated that he understood the B.R.A.C.E. information was an outline and that the committee will refine the direction of the program. Council Member Bailey stated that he thought the B.R.A.C.E. concept was approved, that the Mayor, Council Member Narain, and he would serve on the committee, and that the City Manager would come up with the details. Mayor Pro Tem Seymore suggested leaving what is in place currently and in the future, have the Mayor on the committee and the other member chosen by the whole City Council. Council Member Mills stated that he does not have a problem with Council Member Bailey serving on the committee. It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Seymore and seconded by Council Member Bailey, that the current B.R.A.C.E. committee consist of Mayor Luebben and Council Member Bailey with Dr. Narain as alternate and in the future, the committee will consist of the Mayor with the other two members chosen by the City Council.
