LL Its0"1' BUSINESS RETENTION AND Louis��lle DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE COLORADO • SINCE 1878 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION/DIRECTION- 2020/2021 COMMITTEE WORK PLAN DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2020 PRESENTED BY: MEGAN E. PIERCE, ECONOMIC VITALITY DIRECTOR SUMMARY: As the BRaD Committee restarted regular meetings this summer, staff prepared an update of the Committee's 2020 Work Plan. Attachment #1 shows both Work Plan updates from staff. Unfortunately, many planned activities were disrupted by the pandemic. DISCUSSION: At the August 3 Committee meeting, members suggested looking at potential initiatives for later this year and next year. Because of new member transition, it was also suggested the Committee review its purpose and past activities to inform future decisions. The materials were briefly discussed at the September 14 meeting, but two BRaD Committee members were absent, and it was agreed the discussion should be had when all were present. Attachment #2 is a 2018 document from the BRaD Committee, including a mission statement and goals. It appears that this was last shared with the Committee in November 2019. A primary focus of the mission is policy and program input. As reflected in the original planning, BRaD also has historical involvement in retention visits, business forums, and business surveys. Lastly, Attachment #3 is a topic memo from BRaD in April 2019 that outlined planned meeting activities. RECOMMENDATION: Review Work Plan information and BRaD mission and goals to provide input to staff about Q4 2020 and 2021.
