• <br /> Item Numbers: 7A <br /> Meeting Date: January 16, 2009 <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: Potential Mounds View Farmer's Market — Commissioner <br /> Wagner <br /> Background <br /> On January 6, 2008, Commissioner Wagner sent an e-mail to EDC members inquiring if <br /> they had interest in starting a farmer's market in Mounds View.

The EDC may see other things in the new marketing <br /> plan for the City that are more enticing. It will be important for the EDC to prioritize the <br /> implementation ideas in the plan. This is because there will be limited funding for <br /> implementation due to City budget limitations. <br /> In addition, it is important to note that Clerk-Administrator Jim Ericson has expressed <br /> reservations about a City-run farmer's market due to the amount of staff time and <br /> resources such an endeavor would necessitate. <br /> I <br />
