EDC BUSINESS <br />Review Business Subsidy Policy <br />Business Development Coordinator, Beeman provided the Commission a background of <br />the Business Subsidy policies stating the policies haven't been updated since 2003 and <br />some state statutes have changed. Business Subsidy policies are required by statute <br />and provide guidelines for the city to use when financial incentives are requested. The <br />original policies were constructed using the City of Elk River and Saint Anthony's <br />policies. Elk River recently completed their policy updates utilizing the same law firm as <br />Mounds View, and Elk River has shared their updates with Mounds View staff to use as <br />a comparison. <br />
