From the meeting
Staff briefed the council on an economic development strategy and said a four-phase framework had been developed for citywide use. The Economic Development Manager recommended that council approve a resolution making it a standing citywide priority with annual progress reporting, and the item is coming back for a future study session. This is an open planning signal around priorities, reporting, and potential future program or consultant needs.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Lakewood's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
