CITY OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 9, 1993
SUBJECT: Time Frame for Report on Business Commission
(Prepared by: Richard C. Ambrose, City Manager)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: None
RECOMMENDATION: 1- ~ Receive Report
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
None
DESCRIPTION: At the City Council meeting of July 26, 1993, the City
Council requested that the City Manager report on August 9, 1993 regarding
the amount of time staff would need to investigate and report to the
Council on the concept of a Business Commission. It is Staff's
understanding that this report would include a review of those types of
programs and structures used in other communities to review business issues
and engage in local economic development activities.
As the City Council may recall, the 1993-94 Budget included the elimination
of two positions in the Finance Department, the creation of an
Administrative Services Department and the assumption of the Finance
Director's duties by the Assistant City Manager/Administrative Services
Director. During the Budget Hearing and in the Budget document, Staff
advised the Council that the elimination of Staff and the reorganization of
the City Manager's Office and Finance Department would impact several areas
including economic development. Prior to the adoption of the Budget, one
of the Assistant City Manager's major assignments was economic development.
Due to the major shift in the Assistant City Manager duties, the City
Manager has assumed direct responsibility for economic development. Given
the reduction in staffing, the City Manager estimates that a report could
be presented to the City Council at the first City Council meeting in
October.
