On November 15, 1993, city council moved to create the economic advisory council with 12 appointed members. Since its creation, the committee has evolved into the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) and is currently structured to have 1 appointed member by each member of the council plus the mayor for a total of 9 members.
