SUMMARY OF FEBRUARY 5th ECONOMIC VISION WORK
Project Manager Adam Hanks distributed several handouts to the group including: 1) Sample strategies from the cities of Portland, Corvallis, Beaverton and Baker City; 2) the draft TAC vision statements; 3) a summary of the Policy Group’s Vision and Values discussion; and 4) the draft City Council Vision and Values statements.
City Administrator Martha Bennett spoke to the purpose of today’s meeting and asked that the members break out into smaller groups and brainstorm ideas for the City’s economic development strategy. In particular, she asked that they focus on its relationship with the business sector.

She noted at their next meeting staff will provide the draft Vision Statement and trends, and will also bring back strategic goal options for them to review and pare down.
