PROCLAIyIATION - WORLD <br />FOOD DAY Mayor Meier read a proclamation proclaiming <br />October 16-21, 1985, to be "Take a Bite Out of <br />Hunger! Days" in Louisville. <br />APPOINTMENT OF COUNCILMEMBER <br />TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Hundley informed Council that the Chamber has <br />hired an Executive Director to head up the funding <br />of a joint economic and business development <br />program far the City of Louisville. Council should <br />consider an immediate appointment to the Board to <br />assist in setting an economic development agenda <br />for 1986. Hundley introduced Steve Anderson, <br />President of the Chamber of Commerce, for an <br />update. <br />Mr. Anderson introduced the Executive Director <br />who was hired as a joint effort between the City <br />of Louisville and the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. <br />John Wilken will serve as the Executive Director <br />with a substantia]_ background in economical <br />development. <br />Mayor Meier asked for nominations of a <br />Councilmember to serve on the Executive Board of <br />the Louisville Chamber of Commerce until January, <br />1986. Cussen moved that Rick Luce be appointed to <br />the Executive Board. Morris seconded. <br />Fauson related that at a previous Council Meeting <br />he asked for an endorsement from Council to apply <br />for a vacancy on CML. "At that time it was stated <br />by a Councilmember that we should not be making <br />any appointments at this time be it political or <br />whatever and it seems to me at that time, the <br />majority of Council went along with that <br />statement. I was just wondering how that still <br />faired tonight and I was just wondering if Susan <br />Morris would comment on that at this time," stated <br />Fauson. <br />Morris: "I would be happy to. I think an <br />endorsement for CML which is a long term <br />appointment is very, very different than an <br />appointment until. January." "If we were looking <br />to appoint someone to the Chamber for more than a <br />term of until January, I would be as opposed to <br />that as I was to your endorsement." <br />Luce: As a matter of philosophy, it seems to me <br />that the individual that is nominated is somebody <br />who needs to haves a close liaison between the <br />Chamber group and the Council. In that regard, it <br />WOUla be apprOpr~iaS 2 k foz the Councilidual be <br />Some~pa,~ who can P <br />3 <br />
