i.. MEMO rU: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ^ FROM: i't.ERK-ADM I N I S1 RATORDATE: DECEMBER 10, 1985 SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN Based on the direction received by Staff at the December 2, 1985 Agenda Session, the following wnrk program has been developed for the Economic Development Plan. It should be pointed out that this work program is an estimate of the amount of time necessary to accomplish the work as we will be subject to the limlt..t.ons of oth.rr governmental units, i.e., Ramsey County Taxation Department and the United States Congress when obtaining specific. information. I would also anticipate that as we mov.• on in this study aid present the Council with the results of specific portions of the Plan, you will be providing additional or more detailed direction which will extend out our time frames depending upon the amount of additional work required. I have attempted to outline the steps in the study in some type of loyical format, assign responsibilities to appropriate staff members, give an estimation of the time necessary to complete the work, and provide an explanation as to the type of information we hope to develop. The steps of the study would be as follows: I. Inventory of Brian Hoffman, 66-90 Days Existing Businesses Michele Severson, Don Pauley The inventory of existing businesses will include an identification of each business i.i the community, its location, the square footage of the building in which the business is InrArnr., and t', i..Aauie values for those buildings. Because the taxable values and square footage information is contained in Ramsey County records we will be susceptible to delays resulting from obtaining the information and I am estimating that it will take three to four weeks for the County to provide that information. 2. Inve.itury of Brian Hoffman 1, 30 Days Developable Land Steve 'Thatcher The inventory of dev!lopanie land will provide information regarding size of each of the parcels of developable commercial or industrial property in the City, their location, current zoning, land use designation, assessed value, and if available, current asking price for the land.
