VERBAL REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS Community Development Director Jeannie Naughton shared with the Planning Commission that during their meeting of July 12, 2022 the City Council voted to adopt the Economic Development Strategy, which was a collaboration of more than two years between the Economic Development Committee, Stakeholder Advisory Groups, Community Development Staff, City Manager's Office, and countless others. The Economic Development Strategy is a long-term plan but it does include implementation actions which will take place within the next year. There are ten short-term strategies which will be occuring in the next twelve months. Eight of these strategies were allocated resources, two have been budgeted into the fiscal year 2022/2023 budget, and the rest are allocated as part of Staff workload. One of the most exciting strategies occurring in the next few months is an informational meeting about the Business Improvement District. City Staff will be reaching out to the business community soon to get that moving forward. Commissioner Saemann inquired if the Economic Development Strategy is available to view online. Director Naughton responded that it is posted on our website and the Community Development Department can also provide a hard copy of the Economic Development Strategy, if requested. ** To view the Economic Development Strategy, please visit: https://www.hermosabeach.gov/our-government/city-departments/community-dev elopment/plans-programs/economic-development-strategy Page 4City of Hermosa Beach July 19, 2022Planning Commission Action Minutes - Final c.
