The wage floor established is the minimum wage <br /> required for a certain number of jobs to be created or retained. It is not to be used as an <br /> average wage for all jobs. <br /> • Staff requests the HRA and City Council's review feedback regarding the proposed City of <br /> Elk River Business Subsidies Policy. <br />
