It soon became apparent that EDC is most desirous of having us as a member. The reasoning is that there is a growing shortage of available industrial land throughout the County. Therefore, the City as the major public entity in the South Bay, has an important role in the future development of the South Bay region, particularly when considering the potential of Otay Mesa. Thus, with an official voice in the organization our City's influence will be further enhanced and EDC's role as facilitator will be benefitted. Based upon the meeting with the Director, Dick Davis, it is recommended that the City renew its membership for the standard $1,000 fee. In addition, the EDC will provide for greater participation through the distribution of brochures specifically produced for the City. Their staff has offered to provide technical assistance in the development of such material. The cost of production must be borne by the City or other City designated groups such as the Chamber of Commerce. Recently, Oceanside and National City have been afforded this opportunity. Cost for such an effort has not been ascertained but could range from $500 to $5,000. A specific program will be brought back to the Council at an appropriate time when such participation has been costed and analyzed.
