Town manager asks EDA to take on Rose project and proposes May retreat
Summary
The Town Manager told council members an economic-development meeting will review incentive policy and said they will ask the Economic Development Authority to take on the Rose project; the manager also proposed a council retreat, tentatively set for May 30, roughly 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Town Manager opened the managers report by saying an economic-development meeting was scheduled for the next day to discuss the towns economic incentive policy and that he had submitted suggested edits.
"We have an economic development meeting tomorrow, which will be discussing the economic incentive policy," the Town Manager said, adding that the council chair had made "quite a few suggestions and edits." The manager said he will ask the Economic Development Authority to consider taking on the Rose project and that, should the EDA agree, it would make a request through a vote for council to transfer the Rose project to the EDA for implementation.
The manager also proposed holding a council retreat with facilitator Kim Payne to cover council-manager responsibilities, suggesting two Saturday options: May 23 or May 30. Councilors discussed conflicts with Memorial Day weekend and work schedules and settled by consensus that May 30 was the least conflicting date. The manager estimated the retreat would run roughly 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., though he said he would confirm timing with the facilitator.
Councilors and the manager discussed logistics including location (the Inn and Suites conference room was suggested) and whether to invite EDA leadership to portions of the retreat. No formal vote on the EDAs Rose project transfer or on the retreat dates was recorded in the transcript; the manager said he would follow up and confirm availability.
