Re:  Amend July 5 Council Item #923, “Report on Bicycle-Related Growth in Portland”

For clarification, the proposed amended Resolution specifies the Cycling Industry’s status as a Target Industry, which is a subgroup of the Footwear/ Activewear/ Outdoor Gear/ Cycling Target Industry.

Amend Resolution to add new paragraph to clarify Target Industry.

New paragraph:

“WHEREAS, PDC has designated a Footwear, Activewear, Outdoor Gear, Cycling target industry in its Economic Development Strategy and economic development efforts for the City of Portland.”

Roland Chlapowski, Senior Policy Director on my staff, may be contacted to answer any questions regarding this Resolution and the proposed amendment.

Sincerely,

Sam Adams

Commissioner of Public Utilities
