Boudreaux e51 REFERENCES: <br />Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at -their <br />regular meeting of January 5, 1988. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />On August 1, 1986, the County was awarded, through the Economic <br />Development Council, a twelve month technical assistance grant <br />from the United States Department of Commerce, Economic <br />Development Administration (EDA), to develop a Data Source Guide <br />for Commercial & Industrial Development. <br />The Commercial and Industrial Development Data Source Guide <br />provides a detailed data base for all of the commercially and <br />industrially designated areas in the County. The Data Source <br />Guide is intended to assist local officials, the planning staff, <br />developers, real estate agents, and other -interested parties in <br />directing prospective businesses and industries to areas in the <br />County which are most suitable for them. <br />At their September 22, 1987 meeting, the Economic Development <br />Council unanimously approved the final report of the Data Source <br />Guide. At their October 20, 1987, meeting, the Board of County <br />Commissioners unanimously approved and authorized staff <br />transmittal of the Data Source Guide to the EDA. On November 4, <br />1987 the Economic Development Administration approved the final <br />report of the Data Source Guide as submitted. <br />On December 22, 1987, the Economic Development Council approved <br />the staff's recommendation presented below on the distribution <br />and the amount of fee charged per copy for the Data Source Guide. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />Presently, the County's pricing policy for reports and documents <br />is to charge actual reproduction costs. While report drafts have <br />been distributed free when the issue of the report has been under <br />discussion, final reports have always been sold at reproduction <br />costs. <br />Both EDA grant monies and local matching funds were used to <br />develop and print the Data Source Guide. Even though federal <br />grant monies were used to develop this report, the County is <br />permitted to charge for copies of the report. However, the cost <br />of the report may not exceed the actual costs of printing the <br />document. <br />14 <br />
