reported that the City Council forwarded a Resolution for a grant program to the EDA at
their last meeting. He said he made a change to the due date from May 22 to May 29. He
asked the Board if the number of full-time equivalents in the eligibility section was too
low. Vice President Dougherty suggested it be changed from 20 to 50 full-time
equivalents. There was Board consensus. Board Member McComber wanted to clarify
that the program included home-based businesses as well. She felt the eligibility section
was written broadly enough to include them. Treasurer Runk suggested that a letter be

the grant application be linked on the City's website as well.
