ITEM 2 (202-01)
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Staff report by Assistant City Manager for Economic Development Fitch. In June
the City Council created the position of Assistant City Manager - Economic
Development in order to have a more intensive, high-level commitment to economic
development. The City Manager's Office was reorganized by having Assistant City
Manager Fitch assume that position. Staff is requesting input from the City
Council regarding their goals and objectives for the economic development
program.
Assistant City Manager Fitch stated he has met with the Chamber of Commerce and
developers in the South Poway Business Park. He reported on recent activity in
the business park. He will be meting with other cities to see what works for
them.
Councilmember Cafagna cited the success of the City of Vista's Economic
Development Conference which has sponsorships by large business and property
owners in the City that gets them involved in assuring the economic health of the
community. He stated that many businesses start in Poway because the rents are
very cheap and they don't have the capital or the expertise to be successful.
Councilmembers Rexford and Cafagna agreed to serve as a Council subcommittee to
assist Assistant City Manager Fitch in meeting with potential developers and the
business community.
Council suggested updating the brochure, "Doing Business in Poway," and working
on an implementation plan for the Poway Road Specific Plan.
