CI1C OF SAN BERNARDI~ - REQUFOT ,FOR COUNCIL ACOON
STAFF REPORT
On August 12, 1986, the San Bernardino Economic Development Council
(EDC) conducted a strategic planning workshop relating to the future
goals and objectives of the agency. In attendance were members of
the EDC Executive Committee, including the Common Council
representatives to the EDC, Mayor Wilcox, the EDC Executive Vice
president, the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency and
others.
After a significant amount of.discussion regarding the desired role
and function of the EDC, it was the consensus of those present that
the EDC should be the marketing arm of the City of San Bernardino,
and that the marketing efforts of the City, the RDA and the EDC
should be consolidated into one (1) program to be implemented by the
EDC. It was further agreed that the small business/economic develop-
ment loan program administered by the EDC be transferred to the
City's Community Development Department, including all associated
revenues and EDC's current loan portfolio.
Based upon the above, staff recommends that the Mayor and Common
Council approve in concept the transfer by EDC of functions and
revenues relating to the small business/economic development program
to the City, the assumption of same by City and direct the City
Attorney to prepare an agreement between EDC and the City authorizing
and directing staff to prepare an implementation plan to accomplish
said transfer and assumption of functions and revenues.
