City Council Hires Consultant to Draft Economic Development Plan
The project is expected to take five months and cost $34,900.
City Council unanimously voted on the selection of a consultant — Susan Barnes of Wahlstrom and Associates— to draft a new economic development plan for the city Monday.
The work is expected to take five months and cost $34,900, according to a report in the Pacifica Tribune. The money will be paid out of the general fund, but not by creating an additional expenditure from the general fund.
Members of the screening committee included Mayor Pro Tem Len Stone, Councilmember Sue Digre, Economic Development Committee Members Mary Brown and Victor Spano, Planning Director George White and City Manager Steve Rhodes.
