Economic Vitality Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 27, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />Mike Kranzdorf, business owner, said that he likes that the Scorecard will be <br />presented to City Council. Chair Dickinson stated that there could even be <br />something added to the end of these EVC meetings to add more transparency. <br />VIII. Staff Updates: Director Pierce provided an updated on the Strategic Plan Item <br />#1-9, which is the Cost of Doing Business Scorecard and what would be <br />included in the findings and presentation. Chair Dickinson mentioned that this <br />would be helpful for everyone to see what it takes to what it takes both here and <br />in other communities. He asked if it would be helpful to include any incentives <br />there are or if we could see what common hurdles are in development. Director <br />Pierce stated that it is hard to know what hurdles there are for other cities and <br />that the incentives would not appear in this data. <br />Chair Dickinson mentioned some of this research may have been done before. <br />Councilmember Leh agreed with Chair Dickinson and said businesses might <br />like having everything in one place and said other costs might be appropriate to <br />look at, too. Mayor Tern Maloney said this is good information to have and <br />asked if we are including use taxes. Director Pierce answered no. <br />Mike Kranzdorf suggested planning and permit timelines should be added to <br />this Scorecard because it takes too long. Chair Dickinson agreed that planning <br />and building review is a part of doing business. <br />Director Pierce provided an updated on the Strategic Plan Item #1-2, which <br />says to "develop targeted business marketing and attraction materials to <br />distribute to business recruitment leads". She showed the group what some of <br />the new materials look like and what information has been updated since <br />previous iterations and mentioned more materials are planned. <br />IX.
