RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />Additionally, this assistance to businesses would indirectly apply to the adopted growth management <br />policies concerning housing development and construction. <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />Implementing a business facilitator function would help address concerns made known by contractors, <br />businesses, and private citizens that the permitting process could be more efficient, that it would be <br />helpful if there was a vehicle to promote coordination of the numerous requirements from different city <br />departments and jurisdictions, as well as provide a central repository where problems could be collected <br />and resolved. <br /> <br />The council has the following options: <br /> <br />1. Direct the City Manager to proceed with a budget request for a service level adjustment to fund a <br /> facilitator function to assist businesses with expansion, coordinate multi-agency review of <br /> development permits, and assist in developing methods and policies to help streamline the permitting <br /> process in the FY 2005-06 Budget. <br /> <br />2. Provide direction to not proceed with the implementation to fund a business facilitator function. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager approves the recommendation submitted by the Mayor's Committee on Economic <br />Development to fund a facilitator to assist businesses with expansion, coordinate multi-agency review of <br />development permits, and assist in developing methods and policies to help streamline the permitting <br />process. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />Move to direct the City Manager to proceed with a service level adjustment to fund a business facilitator <br />function in FY 2005-06. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None. <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br />Staff Contact: Tom Coyle <br />Telephone: 682-6077 <br />Staff E-Mail: tom.g.coyle~ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M041110\S041110A. doc <br /> <br /> <br />
