<br />City Council Business Retention & Development Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 5, 2007 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />. Determine which businesses need to be visited (largest employers, largest sales <br />tax earners, new to town) <br /> <br />Should members of the DBA or Chamber find a business they feel needs a visit from a <br />City Council member; they should contact Muth with that information. The DBA and <br />Chamber can also let Muth know which businesses they are visiting. <br /> <br />Members discussed the role of the Business Congress in retention visits. A <br />subcommittee of Yarnell, Caranci, and Lathrop will meet to give the Committee a <br />recommendation on the overall role of the Congress at the March meeting. <br /> <br />SHOP LOUISVILLE GIFT CARD PROGRAM UPDATE <br />Brown noted that it looks like it will take $11,000 to get the Shop Louisville program up <br />and going. He asked the Chamber and DBA to discuss with their members if this is a <br />program they will support and if this is an appropriate way to spend business <br />development funds. The Chamber will set up a membership meeting at which BRaD <br />members can explain the program for businesses and take feedback. <br /> <br />Lehman noted that there is no hurry to initiate the project and it is better to have <br />business support and wait longer than to start the program without it. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING <br /> <br />. Development Review Fees & Process <br />. Business Congress <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:10 AM. <br />
