Direct the Executive Office to perform assessment of EDFC, documenting total County contributions and return on investment.

None
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
EDFC was founded in 1995 through the efforts of the County of Mendocino and the four incorporated jurisdictions: Willits, Ukiah, Point Arena, and Fort Bragg.

If not, what needs to change in the partnership and charter? Is EDFC mature enough to stand on its own and if not, what's the roadmap for reaching this critical milestone?
