[0:00] Okay, I'll call this meeting of
International special meeting of
[0:04] International Falls Economic Development
Authority to order.
[0:10] First on the agenda is the roll call.
I'll call
[0:14] after called order the roll call.
All commissioners are here.
[0:22] Third on the
agenda is request for contribution for
[0:27] the International Falls Area Chamber
of Commerce's area resource guide.
[0:33] Uh Jennifer McBride, executive director,
was here at a
[0:38] one of our earlier council meetings to
request some funds and the funds are
[0:44] they're asking for is $5,000.
And this is to help with uh
[0:50] publishing uh
the guide that they had
[0:55] have and also we get I think last time
we got like three pages in the guide for
[1:00] advertising for the city.
[1:07] Do I have a motion on this?
>> You've got it.
[1:12] » Second.
>> I have a motion and a second.
[1:20] Any discussion?
[1:28] All right, I'll I'll ask the question.

[1:31] » Aye.
>> Aye.
[1:33] » Aye.
>> Aye, motion carries.
[1:46] Number four on the agenda
2027 budget discussion.
[1:59] » Have anything come up?
>> So, being that we normally only hold
[2:04] quarterly EDA meetings, we would be
looking to approve the preliminary EDA
[2:10] 208 fund budget as a part of the budget
process as this group oversees the fund
[2:16] 208. It primarily consists of the lease
revenues from the VMP property.
[2:23] And
really the only major expenses are the
[2:28] area resource guide.
And then we have a couple other
[2:33] um
things in the budget like
[2:37] the pay per meeting.
Um but aside from that, it's it's really
[2:41] the the area resource guide.
>> The the stuff um that we took from or
[2:48] talked about this morning is that is
that from the other
[2:52] » That is in the 808 809 funds. Yep.
>> Okay.
[2:55] » So, that's separate.
So, um I wouldn't anticipate anything in
[3:00] here to change.
Um hence why I would be looking for
[3:03] approval of this budget knowing that we
need to have this solidified by the end
[3:08] of
September as well. And this would need
[3:10] to be approved prior to the city council
approving the the budget as a whole.
[3:16] » All right, do I have a motion to
approve? So, move.
[3:20] Have a motion by Walt to approve. Do I
have a second?
[3:23] » Second.
