Item No. 25 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: RETAIL COACH UPDATE <br />DATE: December 7, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: The Retail Coach has been working since June 2014 to generate interest in <br />new retail development in Paris, emphasizing, where practical, businesses that will not compete <br />directly with existing locally -owned enterprises. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: Aaron Farmer has met with the council previously, and we have asked <br />him to make a brief presentation to the council on December 14 to bring you up to date on his <br />company's activities. This will also provide the council the opportunity to ask questions directly <br />of him, though of course some information must remain confidential. If you recall, we are <br />working in partnership on this project with the chamber of commerce, so Mr. Farmer will also be <br />meeting that same day with Ken Higdon and the chamber's executive board. <br />BUDGET: NA <br />RECOMMENDATION: Discussion only. <br />
