He believed such a committee would just <br />compliment, not compete with the Chamber of Commerce. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested that members of the Chamber <br />of Commerce be appointed to this committee to aid in <br />coordination. <br />Chairman Scurlock read a letter received from John <br />Trumbull, former Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce <br />Industrial Relations Committee, which addressed the <br />breakdown of communications between the Chamber of Commerce <br />Industrial Relations Committee and County and State <br />officials. Mr. Trumbull believed that an economic <br />development committee is very much needed and that better <br />communications should be one of the first tasks addressed by <br />the committee. <br />Chairman Scurlock proposed that the Commission <br />authorize him to invite a broad cross section of people in <br />and discuss the issue and let that committee itself propose <br />some goals and makeup of the committee and then come back <br />with a recommendation to the Board. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board <br />endorse the concept of forming an Economic <br />Development Committee and authorize Chairman <br />Scurlock to proceed as suggested and come back <br />to the Commission with a firm proposal. <br />Commissioner Wodtke agreed that the County has needed <br />such a committee for a long time and he thought it would <br />serve as a very good communication tool between the County <br />. and industry and that such a committee could properly <br />analyze the impact and benefits of light industry. <br />52 <br />
