Committee sets two immediate next steps: plan fall events and convene media/organizers
Summary
After a wide-ranging discussion on business retention, marketing and coordination, the committee agreed on two concrete next steps: advance planning for two fall downtown activations and invite local media and event organizers to the September economic development meeting for cross‑promotion.
At the meeting’s close the committee narrowed its immediate work to two concrete actions: prepare plans for two downtown events in the fall and host a broader September meeting with local media and event organizers to align calendars and promotion.
Chair summarized the outcome: "I'm seeing 2 outcomes. 1 is, Jerry's thing about, having 2 events downtown in the fall. And, at least we can put that in the hopper... And the other 1 is to invite every bit of media that we've got locally, to come to our September economic development committee meeting," he said. Committee members agreed that bringing organizers and media together would help coordinate promotions and reduce duplication.
Staff will be asked to return with basic event concepts, a short budget estimate and a list of invitees for the September meeting. The committee also asked staff to flag statutory constraints on using urban renewal dollars for promotional spending and to prepare a short memo on potential DDA or nonprofit alliance structures for future discussion.
