Council Discussion Councilmember Etten appreciated staff bringing forward this as a way to support small businesses in the community. He appreciated the framing in the staff report with a potential future policy and he thought that is excellent and another tool for the City to encourage business development. Councilmember Groff appreciated the draft and felt it was a smart move for the Council and staff to have that discussion in the future because this is an important item for small businesses. He thought it was good to help support this small business starting out. Councilmember Schroeder explained this is exactly the type of business the City wants to support, and this is what the credits are available for. She very much supports this and thought the way it was presented was excellent so there is no doubt in her mind that this is exactly what the City wants to do with these types of credits and to encourage small businesses in the community. Mayor Roe echoed the thanks to the staff for bringing this case as well as the upcoming policy discussion to the council, and also for this case being in-line with the proposed draft policy language.
