Economic Development staff to bring community benefits rubric and policy back to commission in April
Summary
Economic Development staff told commissioners a steering committee finalized a community benefits rubric and related items; the committee will vote April 6, the department will present a report April 14, and full policy adoptions are scheduled for April 28.
Marcus (Marcus/Marcus) Gonzalez of the Economic Development Department briefed the commission on progress toward a package of economic development policy updates, including a community benefits rubric, a proposed pilot policy, and the establishment of an Economic Development Community Advisory Board (EDCAB).
Gonzalez said the steering committee finalized the rubric and related items and planned a final internal vote on April 6. The department will present a final report to the commission on April 14 and return with the full policy package — including the community benefits component and a data‑center policy component — for adoption at the April 28 meeting. Gonzalez said staff will "clean up the language" to reflect community dialogue and make the draft materials more accessible.
Commissioners thanked staff and the steering committee for the work and confirmed the timeline for public review and final actions.
