Note: This document provides a synopsis of the requirements for comprehensive economic development strategies. For further information, interested parties are
directed to section 302 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. § 3162) and EDA's regulations at 13 C.F.R. part 303. The
document is intended to serve as a convenient source for requirements relating to the CEDS. Nothing in this document is intended to supersede or otherwise
modify EDA's statute, regulations, policies or procedures.
Introduction:
A comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an
economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies.
The CEDS should analyze the regional economy and serve as a guide for
establishing regional goals and objectives, developing and implementing a regional plan of action, and identifying investment priorities and funding
sources. A CEDS integrates a region's human and physical capital planning in the service of economic development. Integrated economic development
planning provides the flexibility to adapt to global economic conditions and fully utilize the region's unique advantages to maximize economic opportunity
for its residents by attracting the private investment that creates jobs for the region's residents. A CEDS must be the result of a continuing economic
development planning process developed with broad-based and diverse public and private sector participation, and must set forth the goals and
objectives necessary to solve the economic development problems of the region and clearly define the metrics of success. Finally, a CEDS provides a
useful benchmark by which a regional economy can evaluate opportunities with other regions in the national economy.
Who should develop a CEDS? A Planning Organization seeking to formulate and implement a regional economic development program will benefit
from developing a CEDS. Successful economic development efforts are based on CEDS that provide an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen
regional economies. The Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (PWEDA), requires a CEDS in order to apply for
investment assistance under EDA's Public Works or Economic Adjustment Assistance Programs. At EDA's discretion, EDA may accept CEDS that it has
funded or CEDS prepared independently of EDA investment assistance or oversight.
The following sections set out below on "Planning Organizations" and "Strategy Committees" cover the requirements for EDA-funded CEDS, while the
remainder of this document pertains to technical requirements for CEDS. It should be noted that in determining the acceptability of a CEDS prepared
independently of EDA investment assistance or oversight for projects under 13 C.F.R. parts 305 or 307, EDA may in its discretion determine that the
CEDS is acceptable without it fulfilling every requirement set out in 13 C.F.R. § 303.7. In doing so, EDA shall consider the circumstances surrounding the
application for investment assistance, including emergencies or natural disasters, and the fulfillment of the requirements of Section 302 of PWEDA.
A. EDA-funded CEDS
Pursuant to 13 C.F.R. § 303.6, if EDA awards Investment Assistance to a Planning Organization to develop, revise, or replace a CEDS, the Planning
Organization must follow the procedures set forth in paragraphs A.1 and A.2.
1. Planning Organization: A Planning Organization (as defined in 13 C.F.R. § 303.2), typically an Economic Development District (EDD) or Indian
Tribe, may be eligible for EDA planning investment assistance. The purpose of such assistance is to develop a CEDS for a specific EDA-approved
region. The Planning Organization is responsible for:
• Appointing a Strategy Committee (CEDS Committee);
• Developing and submitting to EDA a CEDS that complies with 13 C.F.R. § 303.7;
• Making a new or revised CEDS available for review and comment by the public for a period of at least thirty (30) days prior to submission of the
CEDS to EDA;
• Obtaining approval of the CEDS from EDA;
• After obtaining approval of the CEDS, submitting to EDA an updated CEDS performance report annually. The performance report, in
addition to reporting progress on CEDS implementation, should also discuss community and private sector participation in the CEDS effort. Any
performance report that results in a change in the technical components of the EDA-approved CEDS must be available for review and comment
by the public for a period of at least thirty (30) days prior to submission of the performance report to EDA;
• Submitting a copy of the CEDS to any Regional Commission if any part of the EDA-approved EDD region is covered by that Commission;
• Submitting a new CEDS to EDA at least every five (5) years, unless EDA or the Planning Organization determines that a new CEDS is required

OTHER BUSINESS
Discussion about having EDA representatives attend a meeting. Laurie asked Teri about protocol with regards to the extending invitations to attend a PDA meeting. Teri responded that an invitation had been extended. Bettye was unable to attend and no response was received from Archie. Laurie said that she and Bill were going to go over to Seattle to meet. It was then suggested that maybe each of the EDCs would be involved as well.
Larry Crockett said that the Port of Bremerton contacted him regarding two bills 1372 (House bill) 5339 Senate Bill – A letter of support is being sent supporting these two bills. What is being proposed is to include port districts in the same RCW 67.28 (now only counties and cities) to participate in tourism in all respects (running facilities like hotels, etc.). Generated in Bremerton by Appleton. Larry said a letter of support from the City of Sequim or the EDC may be useful.
Bill said that a presentation was made at the WPPA meeting.
Herb said that the biggest thing about these bills is that it gives a regional partnership for projects.
Laurie said she is interested in the tribal partnership. She wondered whether the PDA might become more involved with the tribes. Marlin said he wasn’t sure how to answer that question. Marlin said that what he had noticed was there was a gap between how organizations such as the PDA and the tribes worked.
Katherine mentioned the meeting we had last week and mentioned that possibly at each meeting a guest speaker be invited to speak to issues that involve our cluster groups. Laurie thought that was a good idea.
Laurie suggested that 20 minutes of each of our meetings be set aside to address issues that are common to both counties.
Bob asked about a re-write of Bylaws. He mentioned calling into a meeting versus attendance. Larry said he is reviewing and working on them.
Bill mentioned the idea of post-polling in event of non-quorum. This needs to be put in the bylaws. Katherine mentioned that making it easier is not the right way to go.
Teri asked about monthly vs quarterly. There was discussion. Tony would like to see the PDA/RCD meetings together. It was felt that the long length between quarterly meetings makes it more difficult to keep conversations going. Bob suggested keeping the monthly meetings going until the end of this grant award.
Conference call capability was added as a suggestion.
Bill suggests that the EDA be advised of the date we have our next meeting. Tony said the next meeting of the RCD is March 29th. Linda said that Joint Marketing has some projects they are going to bring to the PDA.
Will Purser suggested that bimonthly meetings would work well.
Laurie said that she agrees with Bob and feels we should meet monthly at least through April or May.
Bill asked Marlin about using this room. He said he would check.
Last Thursday in February at 1:00 p.m. is the date we will plan on. Bill will check with Bettye on EDA availability.
Bob mentioned the LEAN manufacturing/office brunch. He explained what Lean is.
February 26 from 9 to Noon at the College. Bob distributed a flyer. He also invited the PDA board to attend.
Linda talked about the Joint Marketing group meeting and how they understood the regional partnering. She said Diane has asked for next steps for projects. Linda said that coming to the PDA for support. How are we going to act? Is there an evaluation criteria?
Bill said the projects needs to fit in the CEDS document. The groups don’t have to come to PDA but having them come through here lends support and strengthens the grant when it gets to the EDA. We need to come up with criteria.
Linda mentioned we need to look at the CEDS to make sure it is in line with what we are working on. CEDS subcommittee?
Criteria/Process subcommittee volunteers – Katherine Baril, Linda Rotmark, Bill Hannan, Lawrence Graves. The sub-committee will report at February meeting.
Next meeting – to be determined.
