MCDC boards schedules workshops and training as governance priorities
Summary
Staff proposed a five-year pro forma, board governance training and workshops to revisit the downtown plan and façade grant policy; the board agreed to develop in-house materials and schedule a workshop next month, with outside contractor options reserved if needed.
MCDC staff told the board they are preparing materials for an upcoming workshop to review the five-year plan and develop a pro forma financial model. The executive director presented contractor quotes: an $11,500 package to support workshops and an $8,750 option for a seven‑module board governance training; staff recommended trying in‑house preparation first and then engaging external services if needed.
Board members supported targeted training on legal basics, open records and meeting procedures; the city attorney and staff will be available for legal modules. The board agreed to workshop the five‑year plan and asked staff to circulate materials in advance so members can prepare questions.
