 Okay, we've got a couple of Councilman Brown. I'd like to make a couple amendments to the agenda. Yes, ma'am I'd like to move discussion of item 3 stormwater fees on annex property to executive session item 4 And I'd like to add the discussion of employment of an employee pursuant to st Code 30 dashboard 70 a 1 Economic Development Department to executive session as well motion second motion second all favor, please say hi All right, so moves So we have one discussion item item number two Mind taking that Ryan number two Information was included. Thank you agenda copy The follow-up to last month's partner presentation Roco came in there and established partner core came to the committee and presented as well and have followed up with a Funding request for economic development support support from the city of Columbia That the committee for y'all consider Do we have any specific connection with core from a Administrative level no okay except for the mayor and council woman divine starting it But but it's no longer. There's no fiduciary responsibility. Do we have any Yeah, we have any like like me Okay, okay, so okay, could you tell us then how? I guess what I'm trying to I think core is a great organization and I think The timing of this is perfect for what's going on in the city from a vibe from a you know Economic expansion from a growth. I think from a used am word earlier So I use it again millennials and I think there's a lot of I think there's a lot of positive things going on Columbia And I think that core can be a little bit of a center point, but I'm struggling to figure out Do we need any? Further connection to them or how do we so I think as long as we provide funding There's going to have to be a city liaison unlike all the other organizations that we Work with whether it's you know transitions or resort Columbia It's a non-voting position But I think that that'll allow us to stay up to date with what's happening I've moved away from being a board member to into that role. So because of this funding request But I do think that you know the the funding request of 50,000 is Reasonable my question to you all is is there something you want to specifically include that they focus on with those dollars? I think that's really where the city can play a more formal role in furthering some of our kind of priorities around economic development Yes, sir Yeah, I think the mayor's the mayor's Talking about crash courts, Columbia. I think that's a really important thing I also think their membership is is an important benchmark. So we don't want a friends and family Organization we want an impactful organization. So I think there has to be some reporting so so if we look at so crash course membership and Events and the one thing I'd also like to see is if we perhaps Integrate crash course or cap capture whichever one is probably crash course into some of the changes We're making in terms of professional development opportunities at the city as well I don't think city employees have been able to take advantage of this program So I'd like to see us You know send folks and I know we won't be able to sell on everyone But at least provide the opportunity to departments to be able to send folks to get to know, you know Everything that's going on in Columbia Love that and I think that'll also I think what we need We need to encourage core that they have to engage The business community And not just the young business community the older business community Yeah, because the older business community has younger people working for it and traditionally especially in Columbia a lot of the traditional businesses kind of tend to Shrink their Interaction with the city as time goes on that makes sense. Yeah, so I think we need to have a strong business community engagement and connection Development I also want to note that our own Grace Salter is a board member of this organization So I think she can make some parallels and alignment with some of the recruiting that she's doing and the business community and Connecting some of those pieces. So Dr. Bustles. Are you essentially an advisory board member? Yeah, I'm not a I'm a non voting I'm like an ex officio. Yep. I do think we should have a staff liaison To be that conduit whether it's somebody from your department So yeah, so they've approached grace about being on the board Of course, she wouldn't be able to vote on city-related matters also work working with them on the wisdom council Which we're kind of an external group meets with them quarterly just to provide kind of that third party Visibility, you know looking from the outside in as they're putting together programming Appreciate the ideas that y'all are Providing here because we've already began conversations with Kelsey big week What we would need to do is put together a defined scope of work for them as far as the city's expectations We've got a new intern in the office, you know, we've talked with them about having the interns go through the crash course programming I think there's a lot of opportunities for collaboration any feedback that y'all can give us to start putting together is great and then we could Put that in writing and give y'all y'all something to respond That's important between now and the time this comes before full council is that that scope document with Benchmark So definitely the I mean, I think we all agree we want to get Encourage our employees to go through cat crash course I think it makes sense to have grace be our staff liaison for this since she is on the board And perhaps could provide us with updates membership growth membership growth and then Universities I would just get ready to say Because if they all buy in and help support Love from a funding standpoint think about them Getting people integrated in our community early. Yeah, they start to think about careers They're already thinking about quality of life in the business communities here So there's an intersection there to draw both the university and our business community in a stronger That's what I would push them to use that seed money to do this is outreach Yeah, and I think the universities here are starting to realize that the city's a partner There's other groups in town that are that are not, you know Yeah, we're pro everybody. We're not, you know winners and losers. We're willing everybody to be successful So I think that makes it that makes a lot of sense Grace how long have you been on? Affiliated with them. Are you just getting started? Okay All right, can I get a motion from someone on this? Okay, all right, so let's move forward with with some framework Around we'd like to I'd like to have reporting back at least twice a year Yeah, and we'd like to move forward the request to all of council I'm happy to Look at that one more time once you put something together, okay We're talking about for the 50,000 are we talking July 1 going forward, so I think that's reasonable Yeah, I think it should be in the new budget. Yeah, I just want to be clear. Yeah. Thank you for bringing that up We don't like going backwards anything else on this So Motion to send this into executive session I'd like to make a motion for us to move into executive session To talk about item 3 storm water fees on annex property Item for discussion of matters relating to proposed location expansion or provision of services Encouraging location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by the public body pursuant to 30-4-70 85 project Wichita project Silver Hills project subtext and 2 2 2 1 Divine Street as well as the discussion of the employment of a employee pursuant to sd code 30-4-70 a 1 economic development department
