Body
Legislative History
Ordinance 04-131, passed June 16, 2004 established the Economic Development Incentive Committee
Discussion 23-0058 of the structure of the Boards and Commissions that support the Economic Development function as requested by Council in the January 2023 Council Retreat.
Purpose & Explanation
At the request of City Council, Staff reviewed the structure of the Boards and Commissions supporting the Economic Development function including the Economic Growth Board (Chapter 295), the Tax Incentive Review Council (Ohio Revised Code 5709.85), and the Economic Development Incentive (Chapter 294).
After reviewing the mission of each Board and Commission and the workflows in peer communities, it was discussed at the November 14, 2023 Workshop that the mission of the EDIC could be carried out by Staff directly forwarding an incentive application to City Council and inviting representatives of the Hudson City Schools and/or School Board to the Executive Session when applicable. This would reduce application processing time, scheduling conflicts, and allow for open dialogue between City Council and Hudson Schools.
Please see the attached memorandum for additional information.
