• Item No. 8A-8D <br /> Meeting Date: August 15, 2008 <br /> Type of Business: EDC <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Economic Development Commission <br /> From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist <br /> Item Title/Subject: Summary of EDC Items 8A-8D <br /> Item 8A <br /> At the July 18, 2008 meeting, the EDC expressed interest in the composition of <br /> other cities' EDAs. The attached e-mail contains this information that was <br /> forwarded to me from the Lino Lakes' Economic Development Coordinator. An <br /> attorney with the League of Minnesota Cities compiled the list. <br /> Item 8B <br /> Also at the July 18, 2008 meeting, the EDC expressed interest in learning more <br /> about the University of Minnesota Extension Service's Business Retention and <br /> Expansion (BR&E) Program. Attached for your review are a few pages from the <br /> Extension Services' BR&E Program Webpage. Although staff would not <br /> recommend such an extensive program, the program objectives may provide the <br /> EDC with ideas to formulate an informal program in Mounds View. On a side <br /> note, the 80% statistic that I mentioned at the last EDC meeting is highlighted in <br /> the attachment. <br /> Item 8C <br /> In November 2007 and January through March 2008, the EDC reviewed and <br /> provided input on the Economic Development component of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. Unforeseen delays and additions to city staff (Ken Roberts) have allowed <br /> staff to expand and improve upon the Economic Development component. <br /> Attached is the latest version. Please forward any suggested changes to me by <br /> September 1, 2008. The city should have the entire Comprehensive Plan done <br /> by the end of the year. <br /> Item 8D <br /> Community Development Director Ken Roberts will provide the EDC with a <br /> verbal update on the proposed 96-Unit senior housing project, called "Select <br /> Senior Living". <br />
