Dear Chamber President and Board of Directors:
In response to your request for a proposed 1998 Budget from the Industrial Development
Committee (IDC), we discussed your request at our November 20 meeting.
The IDC recognizes the wisdom of utilizing the 1DC funds of $9,000 to $10,000 today.
However, for the past year or two, the IDC has concentrated on two objectives. Objective One:
To foster an "industrial friendl}~' attitude for development in the City of Monticello. Objective
Two: To strengthen the message ofthe benefits of industrial development for preservation of
land for future industrial development. Progress is underway. When the IDC determines the
appropriate time and need, a request for the funds will be submitted.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ken Maus, Chairperson
