Appointments have been made to five of the seats. Four remain vacant. Staff has been able to recruit Mr. Weible for the job training seat. As the staff report points out, there has been some difficulty recruiting members for this committee until we are able to define the full scope of the Committee's eventual work. We are agreeable to postponing recruiting additional members for the Committee until an economic development program manager is on board.
