ADJOURNMENT ROUGH DRAFT POLICY STATEMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION PUBLIC/PRIVATE EFFORT The Board of Commissioners maintains that active private sector involvement is the critical component in the economic development effort in Washington County. The services, information, direction provided by corridor associations, chambers of commerce, industry and agribusiness groups lends expertise, credibility and; pragmatism to state/local government economic goals. While some have suggested that Washington County assume an exclusive county-wide coordinative role for economic development efforts, the Board of Commissioner strongly feels a private sector counterpart organization is vital to success. Just as cities have Chambers of Commerce to assist them in their economic responsibilities, the Washington County organization can more fully meet its responsibilities with a broad based private sector partner serving both city and the county organizations The Board of Commissioners feels any successful county-wide private sector economic development organization must, at a minimum, possess three key attributes: 1 . Quality Membership - a geographically representative group of leading businesses, large and small, that are committed to the Washington County Community, effective in communicating their needs and willing to devote time and resources to furthering the organization goals. 2. Broad Representation - a policy board consisting of the variety of "players" in .the community's economic development effort including local government, chambers of commerce and other business groups. 3. Financial Resources - a sufficient funding source consisting of private sector membership fees and broad based local government support. Inasmuch as the Board of Commissioners is satisfied that the Tualatin Valley Economic Development Corporation (TVEDC), an existing private public partnership, meets two of the above criteria and requires financial viability to fulfill its "Considerable aspirations, the Washington County Board of Commissioners is prepared to offer its participation in a coordinated funding plan for TVEDC. Accordingly, if there exists a corresponding commitment among the County's cities representing a balance of the incorporated population of Washington County, the County will include in its proposed budget as yet undetermined fund to support a public/private economic development effort via the Tualatin Valley Economic Development Corporation. Once, in the County's opinion, sufficient interest in the partnership is expressed by a significant number of cities, a specific sum to be provided TVEDC will be set. 3420M DRAFT THE CITIES OF WASHINGTON COUNTY HEREBY RESOLVE to support the Tualatin Valley Economic Development Corporation (TVEDC) as the private sector counterpart organization to-. Washington County to assume an exclusive I county-wide coordinative role in economic development efforts. We further recognize that TVEDC will work. in partnership with the Cities, Chambers of Commerce, the Economic Development groups in the Tualatin Valley, Washington County and the Washington County Visitors'. Association (WCVA). And to ensure broad based representation, at least one-half of the members of the TVEDC Board of Directors must be representatives from the Cities, Chambers of Commerce, the Economic Development groups , WCVA and Washington County. And two representatives of that portion of the TVEDC Board must be a city mayor and a city manager. Insomuch as the Washington County Board of Commissioners is prepared to offer its participation in a coordinated funding plan for TVEDC, the County ' s cities hereby pledge a corresponding commitment to TVEDC. The amount to be dedicated to support this public/private economic development effort by each of the County' s cities shall be based on each city ' s population with 1987 serving as the base year and updated annually by the Center for Population Research and Census.
