Subject: Recommendation on Economic Health Strategic Plan
Over the past twelve months, the Economic Advisory Commission has participated actively in the
development and review of the Economic Health Strategic Plan by participating in the SWOT analysis,
reviewing the document drafts, participating in active board discussions, and providing beneficial
feedback to both TIP Strategies and the Economic Health Team. After careful consideration and
discussion, the EAC makes the following recommendation to the Fort Collins City Council.
Bill Timpson moved and Sam Solt seconded the following motion:
The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) participated in the development of the Economic
Health Strategic Plan as a key stakeholder group. Throughout the development of the plan, our
commission has provided insight and feedback. The Plan represents an evolution of the
principles and policies articulated in Plan Fort Collins related to Economic Health. Our
commission supports the Plan as a living document and recognizes the plan focuses on business
activity/expansion and effective land use. The EAC recognizes and expects that other areas
crucial to economic health will be incorporated over time.
