4.	Discussion: Board Mission and Purpose
a.	The mission of the economic development board is to foster retail, commercial and industrial economic development of existing and potential businesses in Eagle Mountain. As part of that mission we should organize and manage events that foster development. 
b.	In conjunction with our mission we need regular updates from city representatives on what projects they are working on and outreach they may be making.

5.	Discussion:  Goal 1 – City-Wide Yard Sale
a.	Due to lack of traffic getting to homes we discussed having the city wide yard sale at a city park.  Details need to be discussed further. 
b.	Discuss whether EBD should sponsor Yard Sale
c.	Ikani will check on the budget for the yard sale as well as dates in May that Nolan Park will be available.
•	After thought – We probably won’t be using M42X (Scott) to communicate with businesses any longer. If this is the case, we should discuss the business list at our next meeting as we may not want accidental future correspondence.  At the very least we should make sure non opted in data be parsed if this wasn’t already done automatically. 
•	Ikani - Business Fair to combine w/ Special Events Department.

6.	Discussion: Goal 2 - Business Welcome Kit 
a.	Justin requested to table the welcome kit until new city website is done.  He has concerns regarding the new city website and how it will be updated and managed.  He met with Linda and the new City website which will be available in early 2014.

a.	Justin will provide update.

8.	Discussion:  Goal 3 – Newsletter
Kevin discussed various options for a newsletter.  Ikani said a link could be made from the embusiness.org website to the newsletter.  Discussion on monthly vs quarterly.  There are currently 335 businesses in Eagle Mountain City.
a.	Trent will email Kevin the contact information for Crossroads Journal.
b.	Kevin will work on the first newsletter, available in March.  He will work with Scot Holdsworth and Linda on distribution list. EDB must work independent of city to send emails via ESP (email service provider) so we can highlight new businesses in the newsletter. 
Newsletter will more than likely use mailchimp.com as we can send up to 12,000 emails to 2,000 subscribers for free with no contracts. 
c.	Ikani will announce newsletter spotlight at next Business Forum and direct those interested to contact Kevin. Kevin how do you want to be contacted (EDB email or personal)
