NEW BUSINESS
A.
Chamber Support of New Development
Carol Atwood discussed the Peel's Coffee project that was discussed during a
recent council meeting. She expressed concern that the Chamber had not been as
supportive as it could be when good development projects come before the City
Council for approval. She noted that during the recent Peet's Coffee proposal,
several Chamber members were present and none of them came forward to show
support for the project. She requested that Chamber representatives attend council
meetings and actively support good development projects in the future.
B.

Atwood distributed tickets for the Chamber to give out during the Art and Wine
Festival.
