SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Valley County Economic Development Council (VCEDC) is a regional economic development
council that has been working together and includes voting members from the Chamber of Commerce
Representative from the Cascade, Donnelly and McCall chamber or business community, city council
representative from each of the three incorporated communities: Cascade, Donnelly, McCall, a County
Commissioner, representing unincorporated Valley County, and two at-large (non-government) members
appointed by the council. The group meets monthly in the different communities to discuss economic
development efforts. For example, a sub-committee of the group is holding a new Business Plan contest
and another group is working on regional power generation.
Mayor Bailey has requested that the McCall City Council provide financial support for the Valley County
Economic Development Council, Inc. in the amount of $2,500. The money will support the application
for Federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and miscellaneous administrative expenses to support the
economic development organization until sufficient dollars are raised from donations and other funding
sources. This expenditure would come from the Council budget for Economic Development Support
which has $15,604 for FY14.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve $2,500 for administrative support for the Valley County Economic Development Council.
