City Administrator Ulrich requested that <br />Backman prepare this document. A draft was prepared and presented to the <br />Mounds View Economic Development Commission (EDC) at its February 16th <br />meeting. The EDC members had several suggestions regarding its availability, <br />types of resources and services presented, potential project examples, etc. A <br />number of those suggestions were incorporated into the version attached for the <br />EDA’s review. Several members also suggested that the document be entitled <br />“Mounds View Business Resource Guide.” <br /> <br />The Economic Development Toolbox (or Business Resource Guide) was first <br />presented to the Mounds View EDA at its March 12, 2007 meeting. Due to time <br />constraints, commissioners asked that further discussion of the resource guide <br />be held at the March 26th EDA meeting. To keep the document manageable, <br />brief descriptions of each program are shown. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff seeks input from the EDA regarding the draft of the Mounds View Business <br />Resource Guide of economic development tools available for businesses. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />____________________________ <br />Aaron Backman <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />\\Trout\CommDev\Economic Development\EDA\Staff Reports\Staff Report EDA 07\Staff Report 3-26-07 EDA Item #7B Draft of M.V.
