6. Discussion
A. Discussion on the Structure/Budget for the Cibolo Economic Development Corporation.
The Mayor open the meeting by stating that he thanked the Economic Development Corporation for all the time
they put into this corporation as volunteers to the City of Cibolo. Mayor Boyle stated that everyone has input
and working together we can accomplish a lot. We have a lot of opportunities and communication is a key in
going forward. Mayor turned the mic over to Councilman Quinn. Councilman Quinn also stated that it's very
important for both Council and CEDC to have a good working relationship. He kind of went down memory lane
on how we came to this point with the structure of the CEDC. He emphasis that he never thought that the CEDC
was doing anything wrong or that there was anything illegal or incorrect. Councilman Quinn stated he just
wanted a better use of the 4B Sales dollars. He went over what he thought the CEDC should be doing and what
the Economic Development staff should be doing. Mayor Boyle went around the tables so each Councilmember
and each CEDC member had an opportunity to speak. A contract between the City of Cibolo and the Cibolo
Economic Development Corporation needs to be written. This contract at first may need to be tweaked along the
way to make sure to have the right hours from city staff to support the administrative duties required of the
CEDC. Council listen to all the CEDC members and appreciated their comments about the structure. Every
member of City stated that they appreciated everything the CEDC has done and they thanked all of them for
voicing their concerns. Council is here to support the CEDC and they want to move forward together. Council
and CEDC both understand that communication is key. Council and CEDC will put together a sub-committee to
work on a new contract. This is a transition time, and no one has all the answers. It may take a little time for us
as a group to get this right,but we will by working as one for the good of the City of Cibolo.
