S T A F F R E P O R T PURPOSE Authorize the City Manager to approve the transferring of funds from the Economic Development Personal Services to Contractual Services in the amount of $32,000. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS The 2015 Economic Development budget was approved and included a new staff member for the entire year. However, the new team member did not begin until June 1st leaving $32,000 balance unused in Personal Services. If approved, the transferred funds will be used for professional services related to the creation of a downtown plan. A downtown plan is an essential element to the strategic redevelopment of Middletown’s downtown area. It will help provide the community with an intentional approach to redevelopment in the area that is necessary to creating a sustainable downtown environment drawing new businesses and creating sense of place that the entire community can rally behind. ALTERNATIVES The alternative is not to fund the creation of a downtown plan; funding from the City to support this initiative shows that it a priority for the City and will help leverage additional community support and involvement. FINANCIAL IMPACTS There would be no additional financial impact since the funds had already been budgeted in the Economic Development fund. EMERGENCY/NON EMERGENCY Non-Emergency Attachments: |

my prediction:
It will further fund DMI, another façade grant program, etc When are they going to expand the boundaries to include the rest of the local business community? They are equally important overall, and have been neglected forever in favor of u know where. bottom line--nothing is changing--sos |

"It will further fund DMI, another façade grant program, etc"
Spider, DMI money comes out of the Downtown Fund. Therefore I do not believe that this legislation is for DMI but another project. |

The study will state without downtown, there will be no value in the houses in Main Street. Well, not quite so openly, but that is the basis for the study. Main Street needs a downtown to survive and prosper.
