A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The IEDC Organizational & Membership Guidelines requires that the IEDC adopt Action
Statements each year. The DRAFT proposed 2022 Action Statements are attached to this
report. It should be noted that many of the Action Statements are carry overs from 2021 and
previous years as they are inherently the nature of the IEDC's mission.
Staff provided the proposed Action Statements to the IEDC members via email on Friday
December 17, 2021 to allow thorough review and reflection of the Action Statements.
Several members returned marked up survey forms indicating their view of the priority
ranking of the Statements. The goal for the January meeting is to offer members time during
the meeting to rank and discuss the priorities somewhat like a workshop session. The
determined priority rankings will then be final formatted for consideration of final adoption at
the February 1st IEDC meeting.
Members are also being asked to offer feedback or suggestions regarding potential 2022 Table
Topic ideas for meetings throughout the year. Those suggested topics and other suggestions
can be discussed in more detail during the January workshop session as well.
Al. Staff Impact: Limited
A2. Budget Impact: None
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
No motion; discussion and ranking session of Proposed 2022 IEDC Action Statements.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
There is no staff recommendation. While the IEDC Action Statements are broad and general
in nature, there are few specific statements linked to projects or development trends of
that pertain to a defined timeframe. Due to that fact, there may be more input needed from
IEDC members regarding new development trends or specific projects. The goal is to gather
IEDC input and discuss the changes or additions to the proposed 2022 Action Statements and
then bring that back to the February meeting in final format for consideration or adoption.
The rankings returned by several members are also being made available for discussion and
added to the priority rankings at the meeting (Exhibit D).

IEDC Action Statement Worksheet
Hi Jim, I've been working on the action statement worksheet for you and have a suggestion. As I am looking at Ranking
the Objectives I am struggling with this as I feel all of the items are important and have an issue listing anything as a 9-
12. So my suggestion is to simplify it by only having 3 choices of ranking. Give it a '1' if you feel this item is of the
highest priority for the IEDC, give it a '2' if it something that we should continue working on and a '3' if it can be tabled,
later discussion points or something that will take a longer time/evolve over time.
Each item would have a 1, 2 or 3 by it. I feel this gives us a better indication as to what priorities we should concentrate
on. Reason being, with as many responses as you will get, I think there will be too many items with varying rankings.
This is just a suggestion...
