XIII. REPORTS, REMARKS, SUCCESSOR AGENCY BOARD ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION
A. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Mr. Wohlmuth agreed with Director Harnik's remarks provided at today's City
Council Meeting (see City Council Minutes Section XVIII - Reports and Remarks,
Item B(2)[a]) that there was a lot of discussion at the League Annual Conference
not only about Redevelopment dissolution, but on what tools could be developed
in the absence of Redevelopment, which has been Palm Desert's and most other
cities' economic development strategy. He went on to say that the City of Palm
Desert has embarked upon preparing an Economic Development Strategy Plan,
being spearheaded by Economic Development Manager Ruth Ann Moore. He
reviewed the draft plan yesterday, which staff will be finalizing, with a request of
the City Council to conduct a Study Session about it on Thursday, October 11.
Successor Agency Board of Directors concurred with this request.
