| 1 | | | Agenda Item | RESOLUTION NO. 2256: CREATION OF NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT COVERING COWLITZ AND WAHKIAKUM COUNTIES
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Strengthen economic conditions and create new opportunities
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Staff for the CWCOG have been working on the creation of a new two-county
(Cowlitz and Wahkiakum) economic development district to replace the existing
three-county district (which also includes Lewis).
Among other things, an economic development district allows the region to
receive planning grants to develop, maintain, and implement a comprehensive
economic development statement (CEDS), and the region’s participants to
apply for and compete for funding from the U.S. Economic Development
Administration for public works grants and economic adjustment programs.
The public works grants enable communities to update or revitalize their
infrastructure to attract new industry or encourage business expansion. The
city received such a grant about ten years ago to help pay for the extension of S

| 1 | | | Agenda Item | RESOLUTION NO. 2257: APPROVING NEW 911 COMMUNICATIONS CENTER GOVERNANCE ORGANIZATION
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Enhance public safety and emergency response
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Since last June the E-Board and the 911 Council for the Cowlitz County Communications Center have held several individual and combined meetings to consider and review the initial steps in establishing a new governance structure for the communications center.
The reason for undertaking consideration of a new governance structure could be summed up as a general dissatisfaction among user agencies with the existing structure. The interlocal agreement (ILA) that is the basis for the existing structure dates back to 1991 and has been amended on multiple occasions since then. Under that agreement and current practices for operation and oversight of the center, the E-Board, 911 Council, and the Board of County Commissioners all have certain responsibilities and authority; there is also a Combined Users Committee representing law enforcement and fire/EMS responders that | | |
