Minutes - Meeting of February 11, 2011
To: Bridget Saladino
CC: Kirsten Wyatt
From: Danny Crossman
Date: February 11, 2011
Re: Minutes of Economic Development Committee Meeting of February 11, 2011
Attendees: Chris Sherland; Charlotte Berkham; Karen Hensley; Thomas Boes;
Gail Holmes; Jim Edwards; Mike Jones
Minutes: The meeting was called to order at 8:05 am. Minutes of December
meeting were reviewed.
Results of the Business and Consumer Surveys were presented. Unfortunately,
the Business Survey results were not complete. Therefore, the committee
looked over the Consumer Survey results and discussed a variety of issues,
challenges and opportunities concerning Economic Development in West Linn
It was agreed to try to get the full results for the Business Survey and send them
out to the members along with a more user friendly version of the Consumer
Survey the next week, then try to schedule an interim meeting before the
regularly scheduled March meeting.
Next regular meeting is scheduled for Friday, March 4, 2011 at 8:00 am in the
Bolton Conference Room.
Next Steps:
• Danny Crossman work with Bridget Saladino to try to get all the
information necessary for the Business Survey; send out user friendly
versions of the surveys and arrange for an interim meeting.
• Everyone to review survey results and prepare for the interim meeting
Addendum to Minutes – February 15, 2011
Further research revealed that the Business Survey data was corrupted and non-
recoverable. Therefore, we decided to “redo” it. The survey was modified based
on feedback received and then sent to the 800 businesses that had provided
their email addresses to the City of West Linn. The survey was sent on February
11, 2011 with a deadline of February 28, 2011. Since all the information would
not be available, an interim meeting is no longer necessary.
Revised Next Steps:
• A user friendly copy of the Consumer Survey results is attached to this
report.
• A user friendly copy of the new Business Survey will be sent out on
February 1st.
• Everyone will review and analyze the data and prepare for our regularly
scheduled meeting on February 4, 2011
