Item 6A-Discuss Potential Business Registration Program <br /> February 20,2009 EDC Meeting <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> Economic Development staff agrees with the Chamber Committee's suggestion to <br /> impose a fee only as a penalty but staff is not familiar enough with the Secretary of <br /> State's Annual Business Renewal process to suggest it or not. <br /> Staff also agrees that one comprehensive business database is more effective than <br /> several databases. This potential program could also be a way to promote the business <br /> programs offered by the Spring Lake Park-Blaine-Mounds View Fire Department. A list <br /> of the Fire Department's business programs are attached (more details on each <br /> program are available at www.sbmfire.com). <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the EDC provide input about the potential business registration <br /> program to the City Council. Staff will forward the input to the City Council when they <br /> consider the draft ordinance. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> �� c� /�, S <br /> /�C /--��i4r-t-2/nt <br /> Heidi Steinmetz <br /> • Economic Development Specialist <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Kathi Osmonson's January 5, 2009 Staff Report to the City Council <br /> • Minnesota Secretary of State Domestic Corporation Annual Renewal Form <br /> • List of Business Programs Offered by the Fire Dept. <br /> • <br />
