MEMORANDUM City of Campbell Economic Development Division To: Economic Development Subcommittee Date: 4-28-2022 From: Brian Loventhal, City Manager Rob Eastwood, Community Development Director Subject: Economic Development Strategy and Plan Economic Development Strategy Staff recommends the use of a short term and long term economic development strategy to address Campbell’s economic development goals of attracting and retaining businesses, filing commercial vacancies, creating fiscal strength, and developing and implementing a Vision, Branding, and Marketing strategy for economic growth and resilience in the City. This memo provides an update to the Council’s Economic Development sub-committee regarding the status of the short term economic development strategy, that was discussed at the January 18, 2022 Council meeting, and requests the sub-committee’s feedback on drafting a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain a consultant to support Campbell in implementing the Long Term Economic Development Strategy. Short-Term Economic Development Strategy At its regular meeting of January 18, 2022, the City Council considered the Economic Development Subcommittee’s recommendation to obtain consultant services to assist in implementing a short-term strategy to fill commercial vacancies. This strategy would be consider sales tax leakage and other analysis and tasks including: • Review current market demand by Campbell residents and sales tax leakage analysis • Assess current commercial vacancies and how they provide retail and service space identified in leakage analysis • Identify regional and national chains that provide the services/goods to meet market demand by Campbell residents that could fill commercial vacancies • Consider new, other uses that could also fill vacancies • Conduct initial market analysis for preferred businesses • Develop branding and update marketing materials/GIS maps/information on available vacancies • Work with Commercial Brokers to reach out to preferred businesses and market available vacant space Council feedback included staff identifying local colleges and universities as possible consultants, identify new and developing industries that Campbell could attract and branding needs for attracting targeted industries. Staff is completing a procurement process that included contacting known firms and organizations that could assist Campbell in implementing this strategy. Proposals were submitted for review in April from five economic development consulting firms and staff is finalizing the evaluation process to select the proposal that most closely aligns with the scope of work. Staff anticipates selecting the consultant by May 6. Proposal costs range from $21,000 to $50,000. Amounts less than $50,000 do not require Council authorization. Long-Term Economic Development Plan During its meeting on January 18, Council also discussed the need for a more comprehensive, long-term economic development plan. Campbell’s current Economic Development Plan was adopted in 2017 and has typically been updated every five years. Council requested that the Economic Development subcommittee be involved with developing the RFP in advance of Council consideration. Staff has proposed that the update to the Economic Development Plan be a comprehensive effort that includes ongoing stakeholder engagement, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, and creates a cohesive vision and branding document for Campbell that defines the vision of the city, resulting in policies and implementation actions that are incorporated into the land use regulations and permitting requirements.

Staff has obtained estimated costs for a long-term plan that range from $55,000 to $130,000 with optional services ranging from $31,000 to $50,000.
