GAEDA members will consider creating a new position at their Tuesday morning meeting as well as airing some concerns regarding an existing one. 

The Greater Alexandria Economic Development Authority’s agenda includes creating a director of strategic initiatives job description along with posting of the opening and solicitation for applications. 

According to different web sites,  such a slot concentrates on specific projects and partnerships. After that action, the board proposes to go into executive session to discuss the character, professional competence or physical or mental health of a person, presumably an employee. 

Written notice to the person is required at least 24 hours in advance. Under Louisiana law, the person has the right to have the discussion in open session. 

A two-thirds vote is required to enter executive session. 

The 8:30 meeting is at GAEDA’s Murray Street building.
