Overall Economic Development Commission (OEDC)
|
|
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors originally established the Overall Economic Development Committee (OEDC) in 1970 to comply with Economic Development Administration requirements for local program development. The Board reorganized the OEDC as a commission in 1980 with responsibility for developing and reviewing County economic development policies and objectives. The Board reorganized the OEDC again in 2000 to increase the membership. Concurrent with the 2000 reorganization, the Board of Supervisors reorganized the Office of Economic Development to provide a range of direct business development services traditionally associated with non-profit economic development corporations. The OEDC also provides oversight for the OED.
The role of the OEDC and its Commissioners are:
- Act as an advisory commission to the Board of Supervisors;
- Carry out the duties as outlined in the OEDC bylaws;
- Assume a lead role in the development of countywide economic development policy and programs;
- Facilitate and maintain Board to Board Relationships with key organizations;
- Identify key issues and provide forums to inform, educate and find solutions;
- Be a vehicle that brings government and businesses together to establish policies and programs that will lead to a more vital economy;
- Serve as liaison to Development Set Aside agencies, Workforce Investment Board and other key organizations;
- Evaluate approved economic development programs; and
- Stay informed on economic development trends and activities and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on policy and program development.
If you are interested in being appointed to the OEDC, please contact your Supervisor or City Manager.
