order by President April Graves at 8:39 p.m.

President April Graves and Commissioners Dan Jerzak, Teneshia Kragness, Kris Lawrence-
Anderson, and Laurie Ann Moore. Also present were Deputy City Manager Daren Nyquist,
Planning Manager Ginny McIntosh, City Clerk Shannon Pettit, and City Attorney Siobhan Tolar.
3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA
Commissioner Jerzak noted that he had a minor minutes correction to the previous EDA minutes,
on page 15 of 18 in the second paragraph, where it stated, “Mr. Alexander noted that Commissioner
Jerzak was on the Commission at the time and might recall,” but Commissioner Jerzak noted for
clarity that he was not on the Commission but was an employee at the time and it was during the
litigation that resulted. He noted he could not have been a Commissioner at that time, and it was
just an oversight. The question was about litigation regarding Logan Avenue.
President Graves asked if Commissioner Jerzak had sent that correction to the City Clerk.
Commissioner Jerzak confirmed that he would send it to Ms. Pettit.
Commissioner Moore moved and Commissioner Kragness seconded to approve the Agenda and
Consent Agenda, as amended, with the noted changes to the minutes, and the following item was
approved:

Planning Manager Ginny McIntosh stated that Staff tried to get a presentation this evening and a
Public Hearing, but due to scheduling conflicts with the multiple parties involved, it had to be
rescheduled. She stated that Staff are dealing with a corporate entity, a franchisee, and was able
to get comments back, but it was right down to the wire. She added that both Scooter’s Corporate
and the franchisee agreed to move the presentation to the June 22 EDA meeting. She explained
the Council would have to make a motion to continue the Public Hearing for the purchase and
development agreement and conveyance of property located at 6245 Brooklyn Boulevard to the
