Memorandum
REPORT TO:Economic Vitality Board
FROM:Brit Fontenot
SUBJECT:Continued Discussion of the Economic Vitality Board's Draft Two-Year
Workplan in the Context of the Draft Comission Priorities
MEETING DATE:March 6, 2024
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Citizen Advisory Board/Commission
RECOMMENDATION:Discussion of the Economic Vitality Board's Draft Two-Year Workplan in the
Context of the Draft Commission Priorities
STRATEGIC PLAN:2.3 Workforce Development: Support education and workforce development
initiatives to improve the skills of our citizens.
BACKGROUND:At the January 3, 2024, EV Board meeting staff introduced a recommended a
two-year workplan for the EV Board. An important goal in the development
of the workplan was to maintain alignment with the Commission adopted
plans that guide our work in the areas of Economic Development, Affordable
Housing, DE&I and Public Art.
While the Board succeeded in maintaining the alignment described above, at
that time, the City Commission had not discussed Commission priorities.
Staff advised the Board that once the Commission priorities were identified
and approved, we would return the Board with those priorities for further
discussion. The Board requested that staff return with more specific
information related to the Board's workplan priorities.
On January 26, 2024, the City Commission discussed two-year priorities. A
copy of those priorities is included in your packet material, along with a
revised and more detailed two-year EV Board workplan. The Commission
priorities remain in draft form. Commissioners are adding more specificity
to the agreed upon draft priorities. Typically, the Commission passes a
resolution supporting their priorities once finalized.
The goal of the discussion is to introduce the Commission’s draft priorities,
review the additional detail added to the Board's two-year workplan and
attempt to align with the draft Commission priorities.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None.
ALTERNATIVES:As directed by the Economic Vitality Board.
