• • AGENDA ITEM V. F STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: April 14, 2004 TOPIC: Liaison to Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) BACKGROUND The Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) is an advisory body appointed by the City Council to advise the Council on economic development matters. In the past, there have been liaisons among the different advisory boards, but this has not been a particularly formal system. EDAC has requested the P & Z to consider if any P & Z member would like to act as a liaison to EDAC. This would involve attending occasional EDAC meetings to exchange information on the status of development policies, projects, and other issues. There is no formal minimum commitment, and the liaison could arrange his or her own schedule for attending meetings or otherwise communicating on these topics. EDAC meets the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 a.m. unless there is no issue to put on the agenda. I suggest the possibility that the P & Z as a whole or the liaison may want to propose to EDAC that alternating attendance of a P & Z meeting by an EDAC member may be a good means of mutual support (in effect, an EDAC liaison to P & Z). RECOMMENDATION If any member of the P & Z is interested, P & Z can appoint a liaison to EDAC.
