SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The McCall City Council allocated $5000 in the FY17 City budget for potential economic development grant projects in partnership with the Valley Council Economic Development Council
now known as West Central Mountains Economic Development Council (WCMEDC). Andrew Mentzer, Executive Director of WCMEDC, has submitted a proposal for an Economic Development and Education
portal that would give access to free or low cost educational and business development opportunities. This portal would benefit McCall residents as well as those of Valley County and
beyond. The City Manager, Community Development Director, and Grant Coordinator have reviewed the proposal and support the request for funding for the project.
The WCMEDC proposal is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the funding request of $5000 from the WCMEDC for the Economic Development and Education portal and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
