Pam Pepper -strategic Plan of the Economic Development coalition P. Pepper asked if the EDDA board of directors · would want to contribute $200 or $300 along with the City of Englewood to have an economic development organization assess our community needs. Chairman Tomooka expressed concern and reminded everyone of past assessments and surveys that were never utilized once completed. He also felt that P. Pepper was probably far more qualified to assess the community than an outside group. P. Pepper said having the input from outsiders can be very helpful as sometimes we are too close to situations to assess them properly. G. Oxman asked if these community assessments have been successful in the past. P. Pepper stated the organization has been heavily involved in helping rural communities and has not been as involved with city development. Chairman Tomooka stated he felt education is of importance and should be our big draw to the people looking to locate to Englewood. P.
