Councilor's Mackin Park review leads committee to create economic development subcommittee
Summary
The finance committee reviewed Councilor Tyros's report on Mackin Park, accepted recommendations including forming a council economic development subcommittee to oversee related work, and asked staff to send a comprehensive response after the city's new director starts on Jan. 22.
Councilor Tyros presented a review and recommendations related to the Mackin Park project at the finance committee meeting on Jan. 15, saying the report included interviews and outreach and that it contained recommendations for a subcommittee and for involving other city commissions, including the disability commission.
Tyros moved to establish an economic development subcommittee of the council to oversee aspects of economic and community development tied to the report; the motion was seconded and carried on a committee voice vote. Committee members asked that the matter and the report remain on the calendar and that staff prepare a fuller response once the new director begins work; staff said a fuller response and a series of recommendations will be sent after the new director starts Jan. 22.
Ending: The committee formed an economic development subcommittee to follow recommendations from the Mackin Park report and requested a fuller written response and implementation plan from staff after Jan. 22.
