The strategic plan also identifies specific monitoring activities within each <br /> priority area for the City to measure progress over time. While the Economic <br /> Development Division will lead implementation of the strategic plan, fully addressing the <br /> priority areas delineated above will require staff to continue working across <br /> departments, collaborating with local businesses, property owners, educational <br /> institutions, workforce development agencies, regional agencies, and other <br /> stakeholders. <br /> EVC RECOMMENDATION <br /> At key milestones during the strategic plan development process, the EVC received <br /> updates and provided feedback. An overview of the initial findings was presented to the <br /> EVC at its November 2022 meeting, followed by the draft Economic Profile Report and <br /> overview of priority areas and implementation actions at its April 2023 meeting. The <br /> EVC then participated in small working group sessions in May 2023 to provide feedback <br /> on the draft priority areas and implementation actions. Finally, the EVC reviewed the <br /> complete draft Economic Development Strategic Plan at its June 15, 2023, meeting and <br /> recommends adoption by the City Council. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> isa damos Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin <br /> Economic Development Manager Finance Director City Manager <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
