OLD BUSINESS
4.a. Business Visit Program
Community Development Director Lindquist provided an update regarding the business visits and
asked for any feedback on the upcoming scheduled visits. Ms. Lindquist suggested rather than
waiting until the Port Authority regular meetings to schedule these visits; once staff receives
confirmation on business visits, staff will look to schedule the visit and will communicate via email
to see which members are available for the business visit. Mr. Weisensel suggested pushing the dates
out further.
Commissioner Freske provided an update on her visit at Las Tortillas and overall thought it was a
very positive and effective meeting.
Commissioner Freske suggested to staff to create some sort of tracking system to summarize these
meeting visits and any action items. A tracking system will help organize this process as Ms. Freske
sees these visits being a big success going forward.
