ITEM 7. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION GRANTING THE CITY MANAGER LIMITED

11 _ ~,~ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FUND.
Comment: At their meeting on Feb. 15, 2011, the City Council Economic Development
Committee voted 2-0' (Hayek absent) to forward a recommendation for this authority to

responsiveness of the City to economic development requests requiring timely action.
The funds have already been budgeted by City Council, the use of the funds must
follow the economic development policies already in place and there are three
stipulations required for the authority. For these reasons, requiring additional meetings
of the Economic Development Committee for the use of the funds is redundant. Draft
minutes from the February 15, 2011 meeting are included in the Information packet.
