Jim called the meeting to order at 7:00 a.m. The minutes were approved by consensus. After reviewing the financial information, Eric moved to approve the January financials. Kristie seconded, motion carried.
Brenda gave the director’s report.
Brenda reported that NNDC received a call from Dave Honz, Nebraska Dept. of Economic Development, questioning the money in the CDBG relending fund. After finding out two loans had been made, he told us the CDBG money is safe for a while.
The business park price per acre was discussed, as well as naming the park, advertising, infrastructure, and streets.
The Safety Committee will consist of the Vice President and the Executive Director. Eric stated NNDC could get a packet from the Nebraska Office of Safety & Health.
The Loan Committee will look at the proposal which stated the banker involved with the loan will explain the project and answer questions. The Committee may adopt it as a working policy.
Eric suggested a loan packet be hand delivered to each bank or economic developer in Sheridan and Sioux Counties.
Emily talked about the pipe that Crow Butte Resources uses and asked about the possibility of having the pipe supply business be located in Chadron.
Brenda stated in the Business Retention & Expansion Survey most of the people interviewed said they would send their employees to customer service training. However, upon talking to Joy Omelanuk, we found that the Chamber of Commerce had one of these trainings last July and very few people attended. Emily stated she also had done these trainings.
Brenda also stated she will be receiving books from NPPD that she hoped the board could read at least the Strategic planning section before the Strategic planning Session that will be March 19, 6:00 p.m., at Prairie Pines.
Kristie moved to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 a.m. |
