0 Staff Memo <br /> To: Economic Development Commission Members <br /> From: Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator ef.P <br /> Date: September 21 , 1995 <br /> Agenda Item: Discussion of Updating Mounds View's Economic <br /> (5.b.) Development Plan and Striving for Star City Status <br /> through this Process. <br /> As part of the work plan for 1995, the EDC is responsible for updating the City's <br /> Economic Development Plan. The last version is dated April, 1986. I will bring each <br /> member a copy of the 1986 Plan to the meeting for your reference. <br /> As part of updating the economic development plan, it may be worthwhile to <br /> incorporate the requirements to be designated as a Minnesota Star City. Star City <br /> 0 designation is a planning process. I have included information on the Star City <br /> Process and would like to show a short video at the meeting. The City of Mounds <br /> View has already completed almost all of the requirements for application such as a <br /> survey of businesses, marketing program and information gathering. The last step is <br /> updating our Economic Development Plan and producing a marketing video of sites <br /> for development and/or redevelopment. I was informed that the City had designated <br /> funds for a cable technician to produce a video for economic development purposes <br /> and funds have already been allocated. <br /> If, after reviewing the enclosed information, the EDC decides to proceed with <br /> becoming a Star City, I will arrange for a representative from the Department of Trade <br /> and Economic Development to discuss the process at the October EDC meeting. <br /> S <br />
