The administrator reported that a courthouse assessment by Tetra Tech is underway and that staff are developing an EDA professional services agreement for possible consideration in November or December. The board also supported pursuing neutral public education on Brownfield financing and discussed establishing clearer, public procedures for board and commission applications; one appointment was tabled pending clarification of those procedures.
