Committee assigns council liaisons to business districts, sets rules for participation
Summary
The Economic Development Committee assigned council liaisons for downtown business districts (Chamber/downtown, Cal Ave/hotels, El Camino/Midtown), and set a rule that no more than one committee member actively participate in staff-organized stakeholder meetings to avoid quorum and Brown Act concerns.
The committee agreed on council liaisons for business-district outreach and clarified participation rules for staff-organized stakeholder meetings.
Staff proposed that no more than one committee member actively participate in any given staff-organized stakeholder meeting while other council members may observe without participating. The committee assigned roles as a first pass: Chair (speaker 1) will cover the Chamber and downtown/University Avenue, Greer (speaker 11) will cover El Camino Real and Midtown, and Council member Liu (speaker 3) will cover California Avenue and hotels. Staff said they will revisit assignments as needed.
The measure is organizational and informational: staff will continue merchant outreach under the liaison structure and report back as projects (such as the entertainment zone and parklet program) move toward council consideration.
