Wood (949) 644 -3222 SUBJECT: Economic Development Committee Accomplishments for 2000, and Recommended Changes to Resolution Establishing the Committee SUGGESTED ACTIONS: 1) Receive and file report on EDC Accomplishments 2) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Amending Resolution 98 -17 to Clarify the Purpose & Responsibilities of the Economic Development Committee The Economic Development Committee (EDC) has been involved in a discussion of what its role should be, especially in light of the passage of Measure S and possible impacts on future physical development in Newport Beach. One of the Committee's first steps was to review its accomplishments in 2000, which are attached for the City Council's information. EDC continued its longstanding focus on municipal revenues with many of last year's projects, such as reviewing the fiscal impact of proposed development projects and reviewing the City's five -year financial forecast. The Committee also continued to work on the community's quality of life, through increased coordination with the Environmental Quality Affairs Committee, support of the Newport Mesa School bond, and participation in the General Plan Update Committee. The outcome of EDC's discussion of its role is a revision of the City Council Policy on Economic Development, which is included in the Council Policy agenda item. After completing that revision, EDC realized that the City Council Resolution establishing the Committee repeats many of the items in the policy, and needs to be revised for consistency. The recommended Resolution (attached) deletes the specific list of programs for EDC to pursue, and replaces it with a reference to the City Council Policy. With this change, only the policy would need to be amended as future changes are made. SHARON Z. WOOD Assistant City Manager Attachments: 1.
