SUMMARY STATEMENT:

During the June 7, 2017 work session, the Commission discussed future goals for Economic Diversification.

Today’s discussion item will build upon the work session conversation to more clearly articulate the original purpose of the Commission, what has been accomplished by the Commission thus far, and recommendations to City Council regarding the future of the Commission.

Please find the Ordinance creating the Commission attached for reference. The original Commission charter is also attached for reference.

Following today’s discussion, Ms. Barberio will draft a memo to City Council regarding the Commission’s history, completed initiatives, and future project or advisory role recommendations. This memo will be presented to the Commission at the next regular meeting for approval. Following approval of the recommendations, a joint work session with City Council will also be scheduled.
