Analysis Master Parking redesign is being coordinated through the CRA office. CRA Consultant has made presentations to the Board and Staff. The consultant presented to businesses within the CRA in February and to the Commission at the March 6th meeting. The Commission accepted the plan and presentation, but there is no funding available for the improvements. The CRA can explore potential grant funding for the project or explore bonding the project, but the CRA would have to borrow from the City. There needs to be some discussion about how we move forward and if this is still an active initiative. User Fee Study has been completed. Next Steps: Community Outreach Bring forward Ordinance for City Commission Consideration, November 13th Implement technology surcharge & best practices Consultant’s revised fee schedule effective 1/1/20 Provide for annual CPI rate adjustment 1. Four Officers received certifications as a Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector. 2. Supervisor attended Skill Path, The Managers and Supervisors 3. Registrations for FACE renewed for 2019/20 4. New staff passed required FEMA certifications and Two staff completed supplemental FEMA certifications. The EDO supports the Coral Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce Biz Academy from October 2018 to April 2019 providing seminars to the local business community on topics including social media, customer loyalty, branding and cybersecurity. Program increases visibility of the EDO office and enhances relationships with business community. Attendance increased monthly. The EDA grant was awarded to the City and we are providing the local match. We have developed a timeline for the project and Public Works, Budget & Strategy and the EDO are working together on the project. The Job Growth Grant Fund is still in DEO waiting for approval. Our state lobbyists have a one‐pager. Additional improvements in the Corporate Park are ongoing and will be addressed by the economic development strategic plan. The EDO website has seen marked improvements over the last fiscal year. We meet biweekly with Matt Hoffman to update the website. We have added photos of real businesses in the City as well as linked it to our social media channels. We have also advertised Savor the Springs on it and created a micro‐site for the event. We hired a consultant to conduct a website audit that was finished in September with changes to be implemented in FY20. This is an ongoing effort that will incorporate recommendations from the economic development strategic plan. Installation of charging stations at City Hall Public Garage is completed. The EDO purchased a CRM system and is still inputting months of retention/expansion/attraction meetings into it. We track all of our visits on our calendars as well as present quarterly to the Commission on our activities. Camoin will be recommending reporting out to the Commission, City and staff as well. The Real Estate Summit was not held in FY19. The FY18 event was not well‐attended and with the economic development strategic planning effort, there was not enough time or staff to put on the event. We worked to engage realtors through visiting offices and presenting on the efforts of the EDO. They were invited to the ED Community Event Speak Up Coral Springs as well. Next year we may partner with the Chamber for roundtables that are more engaging and interactive as opposed to a panel addressing the realtors. The Residential Realtors Event was not held in FY19.
