Staff explained that Rolling Meadows now handles most business attraction and retention work through a city-led team, with support from the Chamber of Commerce and other partners. Officials said the Economic Development Committee has met infrequently, has struggled with vacancies and quorums, and mainly handled incentive reviews that still go to the City Council for final action. If the committee is dissolved, those reviews would start with staff and then move to the Council for consideration.
