LETTER ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />14. C. COMMISSIONER PETER D. O'BRYAN- NONE <br />14.D. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI <br />14.111. ROAD AND BRIDGE WORKERS <br />Commissioner Solari read an email from Charles Searcy commending members of the <br />County's Road and Bridge crew on their excellent maintenance of the roadways and medians on <br />State Road 60 near I-95. He (Commissioner Solari) expressed his appreciation for the road <br />crews, who do an excellent job in challenging weather (extreme heat) and keep the County <br />looking nice for visitors and citizens. <br />14.E. COMMISSIONER TIMZORC <br />14.E.1. SPECIAL FUNDING FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROMOTION <br />Commissioner Zorc presented his economic development proposal to designate funds that <br />the County Commission could use for welcoming site selectors or businesses ("clients") <br />considering a move to the County. He stated that a unique branding could be done on items that <br />are preferably reusable, such as personalized welcome signs at entry points around the County (if <br />the client is ready for public recognition). He stressed that potential businesses want to be <br />certain of their welcome, and that a positive message from the local government could be the <br />determining factor in a company's decision on where to build their business. <br />Chairman Flescher pointed out that the Economic Development Council (EDC) has a <br />separate budget specifically used for these types of events. <br />Commissioner Zorc responded that his concept is to promote the County Government <br />structure and apparatus as supporting the client. <br />81( 144 PG 043 <br />July 2, 2013 30 <br />
