ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2014
AGENDA #: 6A
PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community & Economic Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: EDA 2013 ANNUAL REPORT (DRAFT #2)
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to review Draft #2 of its annual report to the City
Council for 2013.
History
The EDA’s Bylaws, Section 8.4, states that, “Annually, or as may be required by City
Council, at a time and in a form fixed by the City Council, the EDA shall make a
written report to the City Council giving a detailed account of its activities and of its
receipts and expenditures during the preceding calendar year”. Staff is recommend-
ing that this written report be submitted to the council in February or March of 2014.
Current Circumstances
Staff has completed Draft #2 of a 2013 EDA Annual Report. At the EDA’s last
meeting in January 21, it reviewed Draft #1 and recommended that additional data
be added about commercial/industrial market value changes since 2011. That has
now been incorporated into the report at the bottom of page 2.
Conclusion
Staff would like to use the 2013 report format as a template for future years. There-
fore, the EDA should review Draft #2 with that in mind, as well as to make sure that
the report captures all EDA actions and activity during the past year.
ISSUES: The EDA will need to complete another annual report in a few months as required
for the city’s new Local Business Incentives Policy. The incentives policy requires
that the report list anyone receiving a local business incentive during the previous
calendar year ($5,001+).
Should the EDA desire, a joint meeting with the city council could be scheduled for
a portion of the February 24, 2014 Work Session. After that time, the next available
date is July 14.
FINANCIAL Staff costs incurred with completing the report.
