Ambrose, City Manager) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1 ) Letter dated May 15, 1990 from Alameda County Administrator to the Alameda County City Managers' Association; 2) Alameda County Economic Development Program Implementation and Financing Plan dated May, 1990; RECOMMENDATION:: 1 ) Receive Presentation from Alameda County; 2) Consider City's participation in the Alameda County Economic Development Program (A formal agreement would need to be adopted by the City at a future date) . FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The Economic Development Program as proposed would require an annual contribution from the cities in Alameda County for the next four years. The proposed 1990-91 contribution for the City of Dublin is $11 ,471 . However, the issue of whether the cost sharing formula should be revised is being reconsidered,by the Alameda County City Managers' Association at its July meeting. The program would also require participation of City Staff in the City Manager's Office and Planning Department. DESCRIPTION: During 1989, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors formed the Alameda County Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee. The primary focus of the Committee was to study and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding how the County could improve economic development within the County. The Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee identified those problems which are faced by the County and the Cities in this area. The Committee's report addressed three issues which impact the County's economic competitiveness: 1 ) Growth related issues; 2) Declining work force competitiveness; 3) Business climate. The Committee made a number of recommendations for the implementation of an economic development program Countywide to address these issues. The Committee report was approved in principal by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors in February of 1990. The plan was then referred to the Alameda County City Managers' Association and the Alameda County Mayors Conference for review and comment. The concern of the Alameda County City Managers' Association focused on several areas. The City Managers were concerned regarding 1 ) the proposal to develop a Countywide growth management plan, which would be adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors; 2) the imbalance of the structure proposed for the Economic Development Advisory Board; and 3) the fact that the County had major assets to develop, but yet the County would be responsible for coordinating the marketing of various properties on a Countywide basis. In April of 1990, the Alameda County City Managers' Association prepared a report to the Alameda County Mayors' Conference ' with the following recommendations. 1 ) No action be taken regarding a Countywide Growth Management Plan at this time. 2) Although a Countywide Business Retention ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. 3• and Development Program would be beneficial to the Cities and the County, the Cities should be assured that those developable lands within the Cities be given the same exposure as the property owned by Alameda County. 3) The Economic Development Advisory Board composition provide -representation from the East County. 4) That the Mayors Conference support the recommendations of the Economic Development Committee with the proposed modifications identified by the Alameda County City Managers' Association. The Mayors' Conference adopted the City Managers' recommendations. These recommendations were taken back to the Economic Development Committee, which incorporated them into the final plan, which was submitted to the Board of Supervisors in May of 1990. - Staff believes that the plan as currently revised provides a number of opportunities to improve the County's and the Cities' competitiveness over the long term in the area of economic development. Those objectives which deal particularly with the environmental regulatory agencies and improved coordination between the private sector and the County school system can only be done on a Countywide basis. The County planning coordination objective as proposed at this time has a focus to improve communication and education regarding growth issues in our Cities and the County of Alameda. In this area, the plan does propose a long term objective of convening an Ad Hoc Growth Management Task Force. As presently worded in the plan, this Task Force role is fairly vague and undefined. Staff would suggest that the City monitor and participate in the Economic Development Program initially and then determine at the time of the growth management activity becomes better defined, whether or not the City's participation is warranted. The last major area proposed in the Plan deals with is Business Retention and Development. The County has made an effort to separate this program from the County's asset development program. This program could provide an additional resource to the City in assisting the City in developing a local economic development program. The cost of the program as proposed would require the City's Planning Department and the City Manager's Office to participate and an annual contribution for the next four years. The 1990-91 maximum contribution is proposed to be $11 ,471 . The Alameda County City Managers' Association is reconsidering the cost sharing formula for the Cities' participation in the program. It is possible that a revised formula would be developed that may reduce the City's cost to participate. Staff has invited Mr. Bruce Kern of the Alameda County Administrator's Office to the City Council meeting to make a presentation and discuss the economic development plan in more depth.

The plan incorporates the comments and recommendations of the City Managers ' Association as well as a variety of agencies and interested groups regarding the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee' s recommendations presented in its report to the Board of Supervisors on February 29. This consultation process helped the Committee and my staff to refine the proposed structure and objectives to ensure that the program would facilitate strategic, countywide action on critical workforce competitiveness, business climate and growth management issues. I have asked County Counsel to prepare a joint financial agreement between the the County and each of the 14 Cities. TG date, presentations have been given to the Cities of San Leandro and Alameda concerning the proposed program and financing strategy. We are prepared to make additional presentations to other cities as requested.

INTRODUCTION PURPOSE This plan sets forth the basic goals and objectives, organizational framework and financing strategy for the proposed Alameda County Economic Development program, and provides a timeline to implement first—year program objectives. BACKGROUND On February 20, 1990, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors approved in principal the Report of the Alameda County Ad Hoc Economic Development Comm__ ittee. At that time, the Board authorized the Committee and the County Administrator' s Office to develop a detailed work plan to implement and finance a countywide economic development program based on the recommendations contained in the Report. To ensure that a broad range of perspectives and input would be considered in the final plan, the Board also directed staff to continue meeting with interested groups , organizations and individuals in the county. The results of these consultations are summarized below. RESULTS OF CONSULTATIONS There was a broad consensus that the Committee identified the most critical threats to the county' s economic competitiveness and quality of life. There was also strong support for the Committee' s recommendations for a strategic, countywide program to address these issues. At the same time, the consultations helped staff to refine specific program elements. This plan incorporates the following modifications as recommended by the Alameda County Mayors ' Conference, the Alameda County City Management Association, chambers of commerce and other interested groups. Administrative Structure The overall policy and advisory framework for the Alameda County Economic Development Program will be organized as recommended by- the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee. Minor changes have been made in the specific membership of the Advisory Board and the composition of the Business and Industry Council . The roles of the Mayors , the City Managers , and the County Superintendent of Schools in this effort have also been clarified. However, functional roles and responsibilities remain as originally proposed by the Committee. Program Objectives Specific objectives were clarified to ensure that the program would (1) complement and reinforce the efforts of existing organizations to address local economic concerns; (2) be restricted to activities that would clearly be enhanced by a coordinated, countywide approach; and (3) allow adequate participation and comment by interested groups. IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING STRATEGY On March 13, 1990, the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee met to review and approve the recommended modifications. The Committee also agreed upon a strategy to generate the financial resources_needed to carry out an effective economic delopmentiproIram of this scope. The budget and financing strategy are detailed As recommended by the Committee, the county-wide economic development program will be jointly funded by the Cities, the County, the private sector and public utilities and authorities. It was agreed that the Alameda County Economic Development Program should be carried out over a four-year period to allow adequate time to accomplish medium and long range objectives. Accordingly, participating groups will be requested to make a four-year commitment to this effort. After four years, the Board of Supervisors and the Mayors Conference will be asked to determine if the program has been effective in achieving its stated objectives and should be continued. The Leadership Subcommittee of the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee reviewed this draft plan on April 30, 1990 and recommended that it be submitted, along with nominations for Economic Development Advisory Board members , to the Board of Supervisors. -2- II. PROGRAM ORGANIZATION To the extent possible, this program has been structured to improve coordination and communication among the 14 Cities, the County of Alameda, business, labor, educators and other groups to address critical , area-wide economic issues. For practical reasons, the program is proposed to be administered through existing county-level channels in four program areas: • Countywide Planning Coordination • Regulatory Coordination • Business Retention and Development • Workforce Project POLICY AND ADVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES • Alameda County Board of Supervisors The Alameda County Board of Supervisors will provide both oversight and direction for the Economic Development Program.

PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Goals and objectives for the Alameda County Economic Development Program were formulated as originally recommended by the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee. They were further refined to reflect the advice and input of interested groups , organizations and agencies. In this context, goals state the desired outcomes of each program area.
