ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE 060922 - NO QUORUM
A
D
A
A
My
meeting
notes
is
so
we
met
with
the
consultant
that
was
brought
on
by
the
city
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
summarize
this
the
best
I
can,
but
he
was
very
helpful
at
pretty
much
determining
that
he's
not
who
we
need
initially
to
develop
the
tours
policy.
He
he
specializes
in
just
the
legal
side
of
the
whole
thing,
so
what
he
was
expecting
is
for
us
to
essentially
say
this
is
exactly
how
the
policy
you
know
should
look
like.
A
So
he
said
that's
way
too
early
for
him,
and
the
discussion
that
was
had
with
the
group
was
how,
when
we
were
moving
on
creating
a
terrorist
policy,
the
idea
was
that
there
would
need
to
be
studies
done.
We
would
have
to
organize
all
the
organizations
out
there
when
it
comes
to
the
trade
organizations.
A
So,
in
my
meeting
notes,
I
meet
with
stakeholders
organize
other
economic
development
organizations,
trade
organizations
and
collect
data
reach
out
to
the
community
on
what
they're
looking
for
when
it
comes
to
types
of
jobs,
they'd
like
to
see
brought
in
through
tourist
policy
and
find
out
the
housing
needs
for
the
community.
A
lot
of
cities
use
tourist
policies
to
also
develop
housing,
so
that
was
another
thing
that
was
brought
up
but
I'll
allow
at
this
moment
anyone
that
was
part
of
the
subcommittee
to
speak
on
their
behalf.
E
E
So
we
we're
kind
of
back
to
square
one,
and
then
that
happens
a
lot
of
time.
I
get
that
a
lot
of
people.
Oh
you're,
a
lawyer.
You
know
you
know
how
to
do
wills
and
estates
and
litigate.
You
know
commercial,
real
estate
matters
and
intellectual
property.
It's
like
no!
No!
No!
No!
No!
You
know
that
you
know
these.
Are
these
really
small
spheres
that
we
operate
in
and
and
these
other
areas
is
are
for
other
people?
Lay
people
play
people
and
policy
wonks.
E
You
know
to
figure
out,
so
the
ball
is
back
in
our
court.
It
would
be
good,
I
think,
for
us
to
have
a
a
you
know,
a
a
you
know:
certified
economic
development
wizard
who
can't
who
is
familiar
with
how
cities
and
who
has
not
only
familiar
with.
Let
me
walk
that
back.
Who
is
an
expert
with
experience
in
the
field
of
helping
cities,
draft
policies
relevant
to
their
specific
needs?
That's
really
what
we
need.
We
need
a
craftsman
who
can
help
us
assemble
this.
F
F
H
C
D
From
there
was
that
the
subcommittee
would
bring
back
some
ideas
to
develop
a
scope
of
work
in
order
to
go
out
for
an
rfq
or
an
rp
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
what
that
rfp
would
look
like
to
get
a
professional
to
submit
back
on
what
their
qualifications
are.
To
put
it
together
through
the
outreach
and
all
that
kind
of
thing.
All
that
kind
of
stuff.
C
A
Yes,
that
that's
what
I
read
out
loud
at
the
beginning
of
the
whole
thing.
Do
the
cluster
analysis
if
one
has
not
been
done
meet
with
stakeholders,
these
are
all
the
things
that
someone
that
can
craft
a
policy
like
this
would
need
to
do,
and
I
can
share
those
notes.
I
I
opened
it
up
to
all
this
subcommittee
members
to
add
any
items
if
they
wished,
I'm
not
sure
if
what
was
added
or
or
not,
my
only
caution
is
it's
really
easy
to
this
this
this
is
this.
A
G
G
A
We
could,
I
just
don't
think
we
can
class
to
task
him
with
doing
a
cluster
analysis.
He
doesn't
work
for
the
city,
I
I'm
all
for
meeting
with
them.
I
I
just
don't
I'm
not
sure
how
that
moves
us
anywhere
closer
to
you
know
doing
the
outreach
collecting
the
data
possibly
doing
a
cluster
analysis
study,
which
is
very,
very
important
when,
when
I
looked
at
san
antonio's,
all
all
of
their
policy
is
is
side
sites
studies.
A
A
Yeah,
no,
no,
I
I
I
do
think
we
should
have
another
meeting
or
at
least
a
final
meeting
on
so
we
can
provide
the
city
exactly
what
the
ask
is,
since
last
meeting
was
predominantly
spent
on
trying
to
see
if
we
could
use
who
the
city
hired
initially.
So
we
we
should
set
up
another
decider
you're,
seeing
your
head.
H
H
A
E
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
here
goes
to
kind
of
give
us
a
little
bit
more
direction
and
it
ended
up
being
kind
of
a
repeat
of
of
what
his
original
discussion
was
for
purposes
of
the
comp
plan,
and
so
we
we
ended
up
not
really
with
anything
coming
to
to.
We
didn't.
We
ended
up
with
with
nothing.
I
guess
this
kind
of
my
was
my
take
away
from
from
that.
E
With
all
respect
to
mr
henry
and
mr
angelou,
you
know
one
of
them
was
so
much
of
a
generalist
that
it
wasn't
necessarily
helpful
for
what
we're
trying
to
do
right
now
and
then
the
other
mr
henry
was
well.
I
mean
you
know
he
he's.
You
know,
he's
a
lawyer
he's
not
a
policy
guy,
so
we
need
we,
I
think,
to
julian's
point
like
we
need
the
requisite
studies,
the
local
studies.
E
E
We
know
that
they
need
help
with
after
school
care
transportation
to
and
from
work
and
school
etc.
You
know
they
we
we
had
a
study.
We
could
cite
to
to
say
this
is
the
path
forward.
We
don't
have
that
study
here.
We
we're
we
are
to
julian's
point.
I
mean
we're
just
kind
of
you
know,
flying
blind
and
and
there's
where
someone
who
can
come
in
or
a
firm
or
whomever
can
do
a
you
know
stage.
The
charettes
gather
the
data
and
then
talk
to
the
transportation
sector.
E
E
I
I
think
I
mean
I
I
would.
I
would
hope
that,
and
I
know
we
can't
you
know,
take
any
action
or
whatever,
and
we
can
have
that.
You
know
whether
tomah
is
applicable
to
the
scenario
or
not.
You
know
it's
very
academic
and
and
whatever,
but
I
think
they
can
meet
if
they
like.
I
think
that
management
can
take
away
from
this
conversation
that
it's
council's
long
overdue
for
going
out
for
a
you
know
a
an
rfq.
E
I
think
it
would
be
an
rfq,
not
an
rfp,
an
rfq
to
really
find
a
a
firm
that
can
you
know
multiple
firms
that
can
audition
for
their
ability
to
help
us
put
together
a
meaningful
economic
development
policy
that
addresses,
and
also
we're,
saying
we're
saying
tours.
But
you
know
you
know
380s
all
the
other
economic
development
tools,
as
it
relates
to
our
downtown,
the
the
the
industrial
districts
the,
but
we
we
should
have
a
health
district.
E
G
H
We
I
was
looking
back
at
angelou's
contract
for
this
particular
item
in
2019
2018
2019.
We
had
a
50
000
contract
with
him,
and
so
then
we
got
into
some
kind
of
issues
because
he
wasn't
really
producing.
He
was
spilling
us
on
a
monthly
basis
and
there's
a
series
of
emails
where
we're
asking
him
for
information
he's
not
providing.
So
we
paid
a
total
of
thirty
six
thousand
dollars
for
zero
work.
G
E
G
A
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
item
b
overview
of
the
nazi
from
the
building
department,
with
discussion
of
possible
action,
I
have-
I
don't
have
any
updates
on
this.
I
I
put
it
on
there
because
we've
been
kind
of
waiting
to
hear
back
since
that
meeting
that
we
had
with
the
city,
manager
and
other
members
of
the
building
department.
A
A
It
was,
it
was
the
update,
so
edac
passed
twice
at
this
point:
the
updated
neighborhood
empowerment
zone
policy,
which
didn't
obviously
perfectly
align
with
how
the
cities
currently
function
and
all
the
legal
language.
So
what
the
city
was
supposed
to
do
is
essentially
translate
that
document
into
something
that
can
actually
be
taken
act
that
can
be
taken.
Action
on
at
a
city,
council
meeting.
A
H
A
To
look
at
well
not
just
look
at
these,
I
I
do
feel
like
we're
crossing
a
line
to
the
state
statute.
When
you
have
car
washes
qualifying.
Neighborhood
empowerment
zones
should
mainly
be
used
to
target
housing,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
commercial
now,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
mixed
use,
housing
and
commercial.
H
I
This
is
roland
with
the
building
development
services,
I'm
the
one
that
runs
the
neighborhood
empowerment
zone.
The
resolution
that
establishes
any
z
does
not
speak
to
it.
Just
speaks
commercial
use.
It
doesn't
speak
to
what
the
parameters
as
far
as
what
businesses
can
and
can
it
just
talks
about
capital
investment
meeting,
the
threshold
of
capital
investment
to
qualify
for
an
ac
project.
I
A
Well,
if
I
can
modify
what
you
said
slightly
actually,
council
did
take
action
and
and
sent
it
to
edac,
so
we
can
update
it
and
it
has
not
been
taken
back
to
them,
so
they
actually
requested
for
it
to
be
updated
and
they
requested
for
edac
to
give
some
recommendations
on
that
at
which
we
did
and
it
hasn't
gone
anywhere.
Since
then,.
A
It
was
a
motion
by
alicia.
I
think
it
was
alyssa
sigaro's
item,
but
I
know
it
was.
It
was
discussed
upon
and
voted
on
for
us
to
basically
give
the
recommendations
on
what
needs
to
be
changed
and
it
being
then
sent
back
to
council,
and
we
already
made
our
recommendations.
We
gave
it
to
staff,
it
hasn't
been
given
back
to
council
with
our
recommendations.
D
Well,
I
see
on
april
6th,
it
did
it
says,
council,
member,
without
and
I'm
getting
this
off
of
the
the
agenda
minutes
for
council,
but
vidal
rodriguez
had
an
item
to
extend
the
nec
into
district
three
and
then
on
that
it
was
recommended.
A
motion
to
present
the
energy
policy
to
the
edac
for
possible
recommendations
and
changes,
and
then
june
21st
2021
and
went
back
to
council
council
members.
So
you
gotta,
roll
you're
right
julian,
requested
a
status
update
on
the
proposed
improvements
and
then
tecla.
D
D
A
F
F
A
A
A
I
H
Okay,
so
I
guess
what
we
need
to
do
is
work
on
a
debt
on
a
timeline
and
deadline
for
us
to
bring
it
back
to
city
council
based
or
if
there's
any
major
changes
or
differences
from
what
edac's
recommending
and
the
city
may
be
recommending.
We
come
back
to
them
and
if
not,
then
we
take
it
to
council.
So
let's
come
up
with
a
timeline
and
so
that
we
all
know
what
date
we're
we're
shooting
for
to
take
back.
I
H
G
G
I
I
A
I
guess
at
this
point
six
months
ago
where
we
were
discussing
housing
and
I
know
rafa
brought
up
to
make
sure
that
like
little
houses
would
be
able
to
count,
and-
and
I
know
we
put
that
into
that
policy
that
we
submitted
to
the
city.
Oh,
it
is
okay,
yes,
but
just
we
had
a
meeting
with,
I
don't
know
her
exact
title,
but
she
she
worked
for
fort
worth
and
typically
any
z
policies
are
updated.
A
F
F
A
There
were
a
lot
of
additions
since
the
creation
of
the
nazi.
The
problem,
the
problem
is,
is
the
the
way
that
it
reads:
there's
a
lot
of
additions,
that
is
just
raw
land
and
like
swatches
of
raw
land,
and
that
should
not
be
the
case.
You
you
don't
use
any
z's
to
develop
raw
areas.
You
funny
thing
because
we
discussed
today
used
hers
policies.
You
can
use
a
ters
policy
to
develop
raw
land.
That's
very
much
true!
