Agenda item 111, 7 Aug 2014
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 4:01 pm
Pals and gals,
At the request of Councilmember Morrison, I've come up with some language that addresses my concerns about cost, Sylnovia Holt-Rabb's concerns about staff capacity and timing, and Marc Ott's concerns about proper council direction.
Add whereas 15 (bottom of page 3, after "WHEREAS, the Economic Development Department. . ."):
WHEREAS, a study of the current and potential economic impact of the fashion industry could be undertaken at a reasonable cost by existing city staff, perhaps supplemented as needed by assistance from contracting economists or business analysts; and
Add resolved 2 (last page, after "The City Manager is directed. . ."):
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The City Manager is further directed to return to Council with report and costs by January 15,2015.
Let me know if you can improve on this. Thanks!
Bill Spelman
