DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS At the May 7,2013 Board of County Commissioners meeting,Commissioner Tim Zorc had an item under his matters relating to Economic Development Council(EDC)Composition and the Sunshine Law. During discussion of that item, Commissioner Zorc noted that he had submitted a list of economic development initiatives to the EDC for its consideration,but the EDC had not discussed the proposed initiatives because of time constraints at the several meetings where the initiatives were agendaed. In response,the Board of County Commissioners invited Commissioner Zorc to bring his proposed initiatives directly to the Board. Attached to this report is a matrix showing each of Commissioner Zorc's initiatives and actions needed by staff and the BCC to address the initiatives. As indicated in the matrix, some of the initiatives require research and analysis by staff, while others can be addressed by the Board immediately. ANALYSIS To start the process of addressing Commissioner Zorc's initiatives, the Board of County Commissioners needs to direct staff to undertake some or all of the actions identified in the attached matrix. Once the Board directs staff to begin work, staff can start on the referenced actions. Given the number of initiatives and the amount of research and analysis required, the process will take several months.
