To dissolve BRaD without a replacement is a mistake. <br />• This would send the message that City Council does not care what the business community <br />has to say. <br />• If there is not a body of government with business representatives as official members, <br />attendance will be inconsistent and will eventually wane. <br />• History has shown that City Council does not actively seek the advice of the business <br />community, even when an advisory body existed specifically for this purpose. Therefore, a <br />standing body with a strong connection to City Council must exist to fill this role. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this important matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />The Business Retention and Development Committee <br />Mark Oberholzer <br />Chairman <br />Steve Erickson <br />Vice -Chairman <br />Barbara Butterworth <br />Secretary <br />Amy O'Neill <br />Committee Member <br />Jim Bolt <br />Committee Member <br />Agenda Packet P. 12 <br />
