This hearing is an <br />opportunity for the public to speak about that participation. <br /> <br />The Partnership has public and private participation with its major <br />partners being the Cities of Eugene and Springfield, the Chambers of <br />Commerce in Eugene and Springfield, and Lane County. The former Oregon- <br />Pacific Economic Development Corporation has merged with the Partnership. <br /> <br />The governing bOdy of the Partnership will be a 44 member Board of Directors <br />with representation from each of the organizational partners, at-large <br />representation, and some regional representation. The Board will be in <br />place by March 1. <br /> <br />The primary focus of the Partnership will be m~rketing and recruitment <br />of business to the Eugene-Springfield area. Staff working with the, <br />Partnership will be assigned from the partners. There will be no <br />freestanding staff. That staff will develop and conduct an intensive, <br />proactive recruitment program, as directed by the Board, aimed at <br />marketing Eugene-Springfield as a good place to do business. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />As stated earlier, we expect the Board to be in place by March 1 and the <br />program to be fully operational by April 1. <br /> <br />DE/irs <br />
