BACKGROUND: As provided in the January 24, 2012 status report on `Proposed Purpose, Composition and Function of Orange County's Reformulated Economic Development Advisory Board; Orange County Economic Development staff have been working to revise the structure and function of an Economic Development Advisory Board to most effectively support the Commissioners' vision for economic development in Orange County going forward. The attached `Economic Development Advisory Board Policies and Procedures' document, and the list of potential candidates for the Economic Development Advisory Board, were developed to reflect the Board of Commissioners' recent efforts to reformulate an Advisory Board aligned with the County's revamped Economic Development focus. Input from a diverse group of individuals and groups invested in the future of economic development in Orange County have been incorporated into both the proposed structure and composition of the reformulated advisory board. The attached documents include feedback from a variety of groups and individuals, including the Chambers of Commerce and representatives from UNC. Several potential advisory body structures were evaluated, and the attached `Economic Development Advisory Board Policies and Procedure' and list of potential appointees reflect staff's thinking for the most effective model for Orange County's Economic Development program going forward. 2 The attached `Economic Development Advisory Board Policies and Procedures' document differs from the version reviewed at the Board's April 19, 2012 meeting as follows: 1) Section III. B. 1. Composition - the number of voting members was increased to 10 (to reflect the addition of a nonprofit member). 2) Section III. B. 1. F. - a representative from the nonprofit sector was added. 3) New Section III. B. 2. - while all members must have a concerted business interest in Orange County, only a majority of the members must be residents of Orange County. 4) Old Section III. B. 2. Referencing chair and vice chair selection was removed as this scope is covered in the `Orange County Board of County Commissioners Advisory Board Policy' Section IV. C. 5) Old Section III. B. 5. Referencing length of service was removed as this scope is covered in the `Orange County Board of County Commissioners Advisory Board Policy' Section III. E. 6) Old Section IV. B. referencing agendas was removed as this scope is covered in the `Orange County Board of County Commissioners Advisory Board Policy' Section VI. E. As provided in Section III.B.1. of the Economic Development Advisory Board Policies and Procedure, the composition of the Advisory Board has been distributed among six (6) basic sectors to represent the diversity of businesses in Orange County. While numerous potential appointees were contacted, not all were able to commit to serve in this capacity. Only those that have agreed to serve as active members of the Advisory Board, should they be selected, are included in the attached list of potential appointees. The proposed appointees have been reviewed and submitted for consideration due to each individual's ability to maximize the diversity of skills, and therefore enhance the County's revamped Economic Development program from a variety of vantage points. Each appointee either manages a business in Orange County, or has significant interest in, or ties to Orange County's economic development. As outlined in the document `Orange County Board of Commissioners Advisory Board Policy', section III, E. 2), the term for all appointees will be staggered, as follows: • 4 members - 3 year term • 4 members - 2 year term • 2 members - 1 year term In addition to the Advisory Board, a group of `Technical Advisors' will be identified to assist the Economic Development program on an as-needed basis, providing input on specific issues. The Technical Advisor group will be identified as the specific need arises, with the input of both Economic Development staff and the Economic Development Advisory Board. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with reviewing and approving the final draft `Economic Development Advisory Board Policies and Procedures' and appointing ten (10) individuals for the initial reconstituted Economic Development Advisory Board. 3 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) Adopt the attached `Policies and Procedures' for the Economic Development Advisory Board, and 2) Select ten (10) individuals from the table provided in Attachment 2, according to the following numbers and categories (from Section III.
