ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Discussion and possible action regarding a services agreement between the City of Texas City and the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership (BAHEP).
BACKGROUND
The Economic Development Action Plan created in 2022 under Strategy 4 (Communicate the Brand), includes a goal of building two to three new partnerships during Year 1 of the plan. Staff identified a partnership with the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership (BAHEP) as an appropriate goal for the Economic Development Corporation, and presented the idea during the February 15 Strategic Planning workshop.
BAHEP provides a range of economic development-related services, including developing business connections based on the organization’s target industries; advocating for local, state and federal programs that benefit the City; and facilitating meetings with County and State elected officials as-needed. The organization can also assist the City with the development of its lead and prospect responses, marketing initiatives and more.
Funds are appropriated to support a $20,000 membership contract with BAHEP in the EDC Budget under line item # 801-050-53060 (Administrative Expenses).
ANALYSIS
Authorize staff to execute an agreement between the Economic Development Corporation and the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership in the amount of $20,000 for services to be funded through EDC Budget line item # 801-050-53060 (Administrative Expenses).
