■►►�►■'TC'12IVI13►L1��CI�I►I�'�►�►• <br />ENGAGE A <br />PROFESSIONAL <br />The LRC is a unique entity with a <br />significant administrative role and <br />potential to p roactive ly su p po rt the City, <br />engage and support community <br />partners, and actively implement the City <br />vision. During the strategy process, LRC <br />commissioners expressed support for the <br />following roles, either as separate roles <br />that report to the same entity, or as a <br />combined role that oversees both areas. <br />CITY STAFF OR CONTRACT <br />A new city staff position can be <br />dedicated to the URA, and support <br />coordination on economic <br />development projects. This position <br />should have a period of commitment, <br />and review would be appropriate <br />around 2 years after hire. A contract <br />service provider would be a less - <br />expensive option with a potentially <br />shorter commitment, but lack the full <br />city integration and collaboration a <br />staff position provides. <br />BUILD PARTNER CAPACITY <br />• Additional support is needed <br />with catalyst projects and <br />community partners. The LRC <br />has resources to build capacity in <br />the volunteer -led Downtown <br />Business Association to facilitate <br />greater community engagement <br />and implement test projects and <br />encourage a positive community <br />experience. This contract might <br />create test projects. <br />• Implement a regular review <br />process for City CIP and planning <br />efforts, allowing the LRC to <br />proactively identify projects that <br />they align with and can engage <br />municipal partners to add <br />add itiona I value to the project. <br />• Work with the City to create a <br />more consistent and predictable <br />approval process for projects and <br />investors. <br />■ Support the reactivation of the <br />Louisville Business Improvement <br />District in conjunction with the <br />DBA, Chamber, and local <br />property and business owners. <br />Agenda Packet P. 22 <br />
