Lathrop: I think I tend to agree with Councilman Hedding to a certain extent. However, I feel that we need to emphasize education in a positive light. It sorrows me that we have a member of our Council that feels so strongly that we need to have a vote on a resolution. I don't want to vote "yes" without saying that I sympathize to a great extent his comments. Davidson: I echo that. I think the Boulder Valley School District has a lot of problems and looking to the Federal government is not a resolution. It would be nice, if they would move with equal endeavor to fix their other problems, as they do with looking for increased taxes and money from the Federal government. I think substantial money can be saved now that the "Cold War" is over and we have a rather substantial deficit. It's time for local school districts to get their act together. Ali. in favor, except Hedding and Howard. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Howard stated that the City of Louisville needs to come to some kind of resolution of this matter. He stated that staff was directed to take the items form the Economic Development work plan that were most applicable for a city of our size and budget and try to get a regular City employee that would work for the City Administrator, that the City Administrator will hire to carry on with the work. He reviewed the work program (SEE ATTACHED). Howard moved that Council direct the City Administrator to establish a 20/week City position of Business Facilitation Specialist, to advertise the position, interview, and hire the person, as soon as possible, within the realms of the Budget. Seconded by Mayer. Mayer suggested that Council think about program evaluation with regard to this project. Sisk hoped that the City would solicit applications from local people, so the retraining process wouldn't be as significant. Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 7-0 vote.
