MEETING DATE: November 18, 2013
AGENDA #: 8C
PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community & Economic Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: EDAC, Technology Village and EDA - 2013 Accomplishments & 2014 Goals
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is review and approve this year’s accomplishments
and next year’s goals to be presented to the City Council on November 25 at a Work
Session associated with the EDAC, Technology Village, and the EDA.
History
For the first time last year, the City Council initiated a new method to receive annual
reports from all advisory committees and EDA. This method included everyone
gathering together at one meeting to review their committee’s past annual accom-
plishments and goals for the new year. Previously, annual committee reports were
given throughout the year at City Council meetings.
Current Circumstances
The EDA oversees the EDAC and Technology Village; therefore, it will review their
accomplishments and goals, along with its own for the EDA. Staff has worked with
the EDAC and the Technology Village BOD to arrive at their individual list of ac-
complishments and goal.
Conclusion
Staff has prepared a list from the EDAC and Technology Village for review by the
EDA. Staff has also prepared a draft list of 2013 accomplishments and 2014 goals
for the EDA to consider. The EDA should approve a final list to be presented to the
City Council on November 25 that includes the top three in each category.
ISSUES: Goals for 2014 should generally establish a framework that becomes the annual
work plan for each committee and EDA.
FINANCIAL Costs associated with 2014 goals are provided for in the proposed 2014 budget.

ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second to approve 2013 accomplishments and 2014 goals for
