County advances Recompete coalition MOU to coordinate regional workforce and economic projects
Summary
County staff presented a memorandum of understanding to formalize governance, data sharing and work groups for the county’s Recompete coalition; staff said the MOU establishes a leadership committee, a four‑member executive committee and reporting cadence to meet Economic Development Administration requirements.
County staff presented a proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) Tuesday to set governance and data-sharing rules for the region’s Recompete coalition, the county-led effort to coordinate workforce and economic-development projects funded through the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA).
“Today, we're bringing the MOU between all our court, coalition partners,” Angie Klon, the Recompete coordinator, said. Klon introduced colleagues Carolyn Edge, communications and media specialist, and Christy Nutter, data analyst, and described the MOU as a framework for roles, responsibilities, leadership and an executive committee to handle urgent decisions between full leadership meetings.
Staff told the board the MOU aims to standardize reporting and reduce siloing among partner organizations. They said the coalition will use the county’s reporting tools and that quarterly reporting to EDA begins in October; staff warned the October reporting period will be a heavy lift as many programs come online.
Klon and others said the governance structure will include a leadership committee that will elect a four‑person executive committee (chair, vice chair and two additional members) to make interim decisions. Staff urged coalition partners — including cities and colleges — to embed Recompete strategies into their planning documents and to participate regularly so the coalition’s regional vision translates into action.
The board asked staff to proceed with the MOU and to bring the signed document to the regular meeting for signature.
