Discuss, Consider and Possible Action on Authorizing the EDC Director to Execute an Agreement
with EDP Best Practices for the Development of a New Incentives Policy.
Economic Development Director Shani Bradshaw explains she brought up the Incentive Policy to
the 4A board. She said the current policy was made back in 2007 and is outdated. She explains
how important it is for us to have an incentive policy. The 4A board tabled any further discussion to
see if the 4B Board will be able to split the cost. The cost to have this policy done would be
$4500.00 so that would be $2250.00 for each Board. EDC Director Bradshaw tells the board that
in one of the handouts is an example of another City's incentive policy.
