Economic Development Task Force Members
Georgetown, Texas
Greetings:
We have a scheduled meeting for Thursday, March 23, 2000 at 5:15 p.m.
in the City Council Chamber for the City of Georgetown. It is my
objective for the Task Force to confirm and adopt the issues that the
Task Force has identified for purposes of responding to the City
Council. Don Collier and I in attempting to organize the issues
realize that they can be broken out into three areas for purposes of
organization. Those areas are Policy, Operational and Organizational.
The issues are sometimes repeated as they are broken out because they
apply to more than one area. I ask that you review these issues so
that we can be prepared to determine if they are the issues the Task
Force needs to respond.
Thank you. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the twenty-
third.
Very truly yours,
W. H. coxrrox
