7. Identify any activities this board /commission expects to carry out in 2011 as they relate to established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) associated with these proposed activities (please list). The following table represents a consolidated list of interests of one or more EDC members that may be pursued as work plan objectives in CY2011. No work would commence until the County Commissioners authorizes the work plan or specific tasks. The members of the EDC believe that the EDC can accomplish one or more of the these tasks under one or both of the following scenarios: Scenario 1: EDC -Led Non - Member Committees As addressed in Question 8, current EDC membership is limited. However, if EDC members are empowered to recruit non - members to serve on ad hoc committees formed for the purpose of addressing a specific topic, we believe that the EDC would have the capacity to fulfill one or more work plan elements. Under this scenario, neither group consensus nor majority vote would be required for a topic to be submitted to the BOCC for authorization. • Since current EDC membership is limited, we propose to involve non -EDC members to serve on ad hoc committees formed for the purpose of addressing a specific topic. Under this scenario, neither group consensus nor majority vote would be required for a topic to be ultimately submitted to the BOCC for authorization. • Since all work will be performed in association with and/or on behalf of the EDC, all work on all committees will need to be transparent and operate according to the same regulations, rules, and procedures governing the EDC proper. Thus: • All ad -hoc committee meetings will need to be announced, with posted agendas, in advance, with such notices provided to OC Economic Development department staff and the County Clerk's office. • Complete lists will be maintained detailing committee members involved and outside experts consulted. • Minutes will need to be kept of all meetings and submitted as appendices to the EDC meeting minutes. • All correspondence, including emails, will be archived and submitted with each ad hoc committee's final report to the EDC • All working and final drafts of the final report will be archived and submitted with the each ad -hoc committee's final report to the EDC. o Reports from each ad -hoc committee must be submitted to the EDC for review and comment before the ad -hoc committee's advisory report is delivered to the interim Economic Development department head/liaison for submission to the county commissioners. Fiscal Impact: Completing advisory reports on these topics likely will have minimal impact on staff time and department budget.
